    Hi Vicky

    I think it is a man thing,but without meaning too you do as a carer tend to take over most things, It is there body. I suppose it,s just instincts to want to help and make them get better.

    Slim has an ally in Tom,but I think…[Read more]

    Hi everyone.
    Just returned from our first trip away since diagnosed with MM in October. We had a lovely 3 night stay in the lake district. The weather wasn't the best but without some rain there would be no lakes 😉 We didn't venture too far as my back was not too good – but with some pain killers and a few beers we managed to have a good time.…[Read more]
