Hi, Just thought I'd share my experience. I first began to feel unwell in October 2006, I was tired and thirsty all the time, and then had bouts of blurred and/or double vision. I had an eye test, the optician said my vision was perfect, but I disagreed as I was seeing two of everything! My...

Wow. Just read this thread. Nikki Wallis sounds quite impressive, theres hope for us all yet. I've finallly gotten back to working with racehorses again and it gives me confidence and reassurance to knoe that there ate others out there doing much more demanding jobs and coping well! Another...

Hi, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered many times. I am flying to Ireland next week and require a letter from my doctor to explain about my need to carry insulin, needles etc. I've been told that there may be a charge for this, does anyone know how much it is likely to be and do...

Hiya, The dark nights are here once again, but it's the rain that has been more of a problem over the past week. I have a grey Thoroughbred mare, ex-racehorse. I think she might have been a hippo in a previous life as she loves wallowing in the mud and even though her rug covers her from ears to...
