    FROM LRW60

    Hi all, I used to post here as lrw60. Then I fell out with the new look forum. I have now decided to post an update concerning my friend Lorna who some of you may remember me mentioning. Just over a year ago Lorna took her grade 8 oboe exam and passed with a distinction. A few weeks ago she took...

    Hi Steph, Not quite sure if this will get through... but I thought this might interest you. My friend Lorna had a pacemaker fitted last month. I collected her from hospital 4 days later at 6.30pm and by 7.30pm we were sat in a hall listening to a concert. Two weeks later she took her grade 8...

    YUK!

    I said it before and I'll say it again. YUK!!!!! This site was so user friendly, now it's a mess. Thanks to all who have replied to my questions in the past, I hope you get on better with this new format than I have. Time to say goodbye, I don't like this new format at all. LRW60.

    YUK!

    :yuck: I don't like this new format at all. It is messy and un-friendy. Where do I find my old posts? I will log back on in a few weeks time and if I still find it as it is now I don't think I will log on again. Bad, Bad move. Lee.

    LMAO!!!

    Not really sure what this topic is about, which is probably why I feel able to reply in kind. He who laughs last, laughs last.

    Veggie/vegan

    Hi. I have been veggie/almost vegan, for about 30 years. I have also been overweight for a lot longer than that. I was diagnosed with t2 9 years ago and the medication went up and up over the next 7 years. Then I dieted and lost a lot of weight, still a v/v but eating less of certain foods. As I...

    is it is just me?

    I used to post quite a bit. I wanted to learn more about my condition and what I could do about it. This forum gave me lots of info and I explored most of them. The main thing I learned (it was what friends and family had been telling me) is that I was doing the right thing most of the time. I...

    Artificial sweetner may have affected my joints.

    I tried lots of different sweetners over the years. For a last few years I have used powder and tablets called Slimmer. They cantain aspertame and acesulfame-k and several other chemicals.

    Artificial sweetner may have affected my joints.

    The joints in question being my neck and right shoulder. Last year I realised that I couldn't tilt my neck back as far as I used to. I then discovered that I couldn't reach as high with my right arm as I could with my left. I put all this down to my arthritis, old age and having worked as a...

    SEPTEMBER - SALUTATIONS :)

    The 2 friends who stayed with me and Lorna have now gone home, and taken the good weather with them. A day or so after they left, the town of Falmouth was hit by a freak hail storm with a bit of sleet thrown in. Lorna and I ( see, I can speak good English if'n I want) are getting ready to leave...

    D D D, Dear ( Diabetes) Diary

    Dear DDD, I wish you would make your mind up. First we were to be together for life, then we drifted apart and you were gone for good. Now you are stalking me. I don't know where you are, just round the corner? Hiding in my next blood test? I sometimes think it would be easier to take you back...

    can realy be this easy

    I keep wondering if I am due a setback. I managed to come off my meds last Sep. Each time I go for a blood test I expect to hear those words, it's back. By following a lower carb diet and doing easy excercise, and testing now and then, I hope to keep it at bay for many years. We can only do what...

    Birthday ideas

    Does your dad like old aeroplanes? There are two brothers, I think, who own a Lancaster bomber from WW2 somewhere in East Anglia, sorry to be so vague, they take people for rides, not in the air, just taxi-ing along the runway. I sent an email to a friend who was a Lancaster pilot during the war...

    Have you cured or reversed type 2

    I have been meds free for almost a year now. You're right about being left out on a limb. It's as though docs are being told to stop all meds and treatment if someone is clear for at least a year. I will be finding this out in September, my first year clear. Thanks to this site and the things I...

    Carpel Tunnel and Type 2

    Like you I am type2 with arthritis, in most of my joints but the carpel tunnel pains flared up long before I was diagnosed with diabetes. I have also suffered with ingrowing toenails. I had a big toe nail removed a few times to see if would grow back properly. It didn't want to do that so the...

    Getting lost.

    Thanks Steph, all help is gratefully received. Maybe your friends will be at the Lizard. The weather is looking a bit uncertain at the moment, Lorna will have to decide which of the cars she will be driving. The second concert we attended last night was terrific, and there was a hornplayer! She...

    Water question

    Luckily I managed to give up the fizzies years ago. I hate to think of what that stuff did to me. If you are sure that the drinks are sugar/carbohydrate free then I can see no problem. I have read in other posts that people mix fruit juice with carbonated water, and some have diet cola's. even...
