Charlie. Believe me, we all know how you're feeling at the moment. I was as fit as a fiddle before I was diagnosed in May 2011, so nothing could have surprised me more when I was told I had MM. I'd never even heard of it. When I started CTD I was still getting over the initial shock and all my thoughts were very muddled and illogical. I didn't…[Read more]

Hi Eve and Slim
Great to hear you are turning the corner Slim 😀
I had things that felt like MM but was told all clear its just an old/new ache so I got on with it but still nip off to Doc's when I feel different 😀
Have a great Time looking and Booking your Holls.

Hi Charlie
Three months ago we lost a grandchild Matty he was sixteen,his sister who is 10 years old put every thing into perspective,she said to her mum everything will be normal but different.
I honestly believe this sums up your position,what seems awful at the moment will seem normal after a while just different.
You will make friends…[Read more]

I hope everything goes well Chris. I had my stem cell mobilization day last December 19th. I was attached to a drip from morning 'til late afternoon receiving a whole cocktail of things. It was the most tiring day I'd had for a long time but at least I didn't have to spend the night in hospital. I gave myself the GCSF injections at home which…[Read more]

Hi all
Very excited as my baby boy is going to be a daddy beginning of February 🙂 Although we have 4 grand children that we love dearly this will be the first carried in Northern Ireland, the first we will be closely involved with from pregnancy to birth. I am so so excited – its like Santa has come early!
Love to everyone
