    Numb toe

    Numb toe

    It's time I admit to myself that my big toe is numb. I have been to scared to go to the doctor but I think I really need to go and get it looked at. I'm posting on here because really need to take my head out of the sand And I know that if I write it here then I will have to do something.

    Summer begins

    Hi. I'm fine thanks. Just tested and it's 8.4. Did nothing different today. During the day it currently can be as high as 10. Be glad when it cools down.

    I feel so sick right now because of a stupid decision (not what you’re going to expect)

    Been to Skegness beach loads of times. I prefer going 40 minutes down the road to Sutton on sea or sandilands

    Metformin

    Yes I enjoyed that side effect. Even though I am on only 2 day with other meds it does give me bad wind

    Diet struggles

    I was picky like you and over the last month I have discovered how much I love a salad. One day it will tuna salad another day chicken salad and sometimes I add a sneaky pizza. It never the same twice. Food can bring fun again
