I've been having a recurrence of my chronic idiopathic urticaria since early September. Intolerable itching that drives me insane, can't concentrate because of it, work becoming an issue, a body like the map of the world and a face like Frank Bruno after a fight - resulted in two stays in A & E...

My youngest son takes care to get his exercise in and keep his weight down by cycling and rock climbing. He bought himself a decent bike a few years ago and I haven't seen him since! Then he decided to cycle for charity so he got really serious. He's done quite a few long distance rides and...

I've just had a lovely afternoon jammin' to Bob Marley in Sefton Park near where I live. I don't know why but I feel a real spiritual connection to this park and I get sudden urges to pick myself up and drive there and I can guarantee, every time I get that feeling, I get there and find some...

I've been working as a temp in the NHS since January. My job comes to an end next week so I'll be unemployed again and I also need to sleep for a week because I'm totally exhausted. To top that, I received my insurance renewal this morning and it's DOUBLED and the following words were printed...

Several years ago, I started to get daytime 'flashes', like pictures in my mind. Before the 2004 tsunami, I saw a huge wall of water and I couldn't stop crying for days. Other times I would feel the ground moving under my feet and my legs would feel shaky and wobbly. Then an earthquake would...

No, it's just wrong! :x

aaaaaaah chooooooooooooooooooo! I just thought I'd be really antisocial and share my cold with everyone. :D I've sneezed violently ALL DAY LONG and I've had enough! Just had to share that with you. :wink:

This isn't a rant about diabetes, it's a rant about hairdressers who do what they like with MY hair and why having a hairdresser we can trust is essential. Basically, my hair is a mess and so I feel a mess too. Why is my hair a mess? Well it wasn't a mess. I have a good, plentiful, head of...

Is anyone having weird sleep patterns, irregularities etc recently? I was chuffed that I began sleeping through the night after I started my meds and new diet but then suddenly a couple of months ago I started waking up after a few hours sleep, around 3-4am and was having night sweats. I put...

I've been a fan of this website for years ... it gave me a few laughs through the menopause - http://www.minniepauz.com/ Now that I'm post menopause there's another section called ... http://www.minniepauz.com/after-menopause I had a wee look at this just now and found this ...

http://www.dietdoctor.com/its-the-insulin-stupid This graph makes sense to me. Apparently, they can genetically modify rats to secrete less insulin from their pancreas and they remain slim no matter what they eat. So when are they going to be able to do that for humans? My Mum could...

Aaaaaaaarrrrrggggh! (Can't you tell I used to read The Beano?) :lol: From 2 - 7am last night, I woke up at least 12 times for no apparent reason. I'm not happy. :(

My fave is Jaaaaaaaahmane. He might be a shy little fella working in ASDA but he's a little gem with a big powerful voice and I think he's been given the gift of expressing himself that way. I'm voting for him. :D

I went swimming this afternoon and had a lovely salt sauna. I wasn't going to go because it's so cold and I didn't want to risk catching a cold etc, but the sauna was lovely and hot and I really enjoyed it. My hairdresser is just across the road from the leisure centre so I popped in to make...

7.2 with Codefree this morning = 6.2 with Accu Check. I'm doing these readings so that I can compare how my readings are from month to month to see if things like seasonal foods, weather conditions, stress, daylight hours etc affect my diabetes. I've noticed that when I sleep for more than 8...

:D I've lost weight... I've lost weight... I've lost weight ... zippidy doo dah ... zippidy yay ... my oh my ... Well that's enough of that ... I've lost 3lb. Just like that. I actually haven't weighed myself for over 2 weeks because I was getting demoralised by not losing anything. My...

This is really, really weird. When I first started low carbing about 4 months ago now, I still had the odd nibble on a piece of chocolate and ate the occasional mini Crunchie bar, and I mean occasional. Maybe I'd have two mini crunchies in 10 days or so. Then I noticed I was starting to leave...
