Hi Helen and everyone for your kind wishes, I didnt end up in hospital but with another course of oral anti-biotics. B I can honestly say they have only made a minmal difference so I will be taking a bag to clinic this week Most days I cant stay awake for longer than 5 minutes, waliking upstairs is very scary as I am so weak now, probably due to…[Read more]

Hi Ian glad your ankle problem wss sorted out quickly and simply It sounds as if you have a really good doctor which makes such a difference When I have had unexplained pain, such as you have under your arm, my doctor always offers an mri to reassure me which I think shows they see us a whole person not just a set of symptoms . Heres to your CR…[Read more]

Blimey Dai you dont do things by half!!Thank goodness you have Janet watching out for you she must have been so worried . I think the sweats are likely to be Revlimid , when I was on it I would pour with sweat at the least exertion and I still have the same problem now I am on Thalidomide. It does get very embarassing but I suppose there are worse…[Read more]

Hi Keith thankyou that does sound very promising, hope it gets the green light even if it takes 6 years. As you say if it came to it whats a flight to Israel compared to a good result. I knew I should buy a Proper Newspaper on Sundays then I wouldnt miss gems like that But those Sunday Trashies are hard to resist !!!! Take care and hope you are…[Read more]

Hi Ian swollen ankles does sound like water retention , worth getting it checked out. I always get swollen ankles and calves when on Dex or Prednisalone . Ferusamide tablets are used to get rid of excess water and you should put your feet up as high as possible when sitting, doesnt mean you get to bew fed peeled grapes though!! Keep drinking lots…[Read more]

But I look in regularly can't help myself, just need to know your all OK.
Cant just shrug of my cyber friends and confidantes
Similarly saddened to…[Read more]

Hi Nicola lovely to hear from you Wow what a wonderful turnout for your dad you must have felt so proud of him. When I was very young I was scandalised at people smiling and laughing after a funeral its only as I got older I realised its such a necessary part of the grief process Those laughs and stories told at your dads wake are more precious…[Read more]

Morning Dai no wonder you have been losing sleep there is nothing worse than having a pain you dont know the cause of . I must admit I am very surprised your doctor dismissed your concern without even doing an x-ray . I think you are right to insist on examination of your shoulder as soon as !If it is mm then it does not necessarily mean your…[Read more]
