No problem, happy to chat. forgot to say, the Deauville is a v twin, Rebel upright twin. Both go and handle pretty well for mid size (nowadays) bikes. Listed the Deauville as "SORN" (off the road) when my legs problems started, just had a reminder that the Rebel needs an MoT by the end of the...

I didn't know about the diagnosis bit, but I do now. Very interesting story, as I'd had all that, including the lymph-filled blisters. GP prescribed 2 creams, one with as steroid content to address the redness and itching, and another to moisturise the skin, plus a high dose of diuretics. The...

HI all, I'm 69 and in UK (Shropshire) and am disabled with poor mobility, very high bp and other problems.. Wife has been type 2 for years.. Last blood test the GP told me I was just over the line , wants repeat bloods in 3 weeks to confirm. Even then he doesn't want to put me on metformin...
