Well My friend Dai, you want a whine/moan or just a plain old complain then you my friend are due to have one, as most of us know its hard to be tip top all the time, and to be fair its hard to be tickety boo when you are on the drugs:-S

Hi Jo,

If the treatment truly is working then the side effects can enjoy their field days with immunity from my tongue for ever. There are side-effects and side-effects of course and if the medics have got something they can give to ease, unblock, block, badger or blast away then gimmee and gimmee now, lots of it, big spoonfuls, ladles, that…[Read more]

Gina and Angelina,

Thank you you both for allowing me a poor-me moment, I think I was due one.:-P

I am aware that I am far removed from some of the problems that others are going through at this time and I do feel for them, truly. Without trying to sound macho I sometimes think that I prefer pain to other, general sickness disorders.…[Read more]
