Mark ask questions, write them down and ask. Although I was diagnosed in Feb I'm new to this and have learned heck of a lot the last couple of days I've posted on here, and what I would say any question you can think of from now till Thursday write down and ask your doc, I know I will from now...

Just a ps about the medical exemption certificate, the chemists have been great. I've been to two so far, first one was the one at the health centre I told her that I'd sent for the exempt certificate and did I have to pay she said no and would just put it down as I hadn't shown her my card but...

Thank you Gwilo, the eye thing was a big worry and peoples kind thoughts and words on here before and after have helped more than they will know. I've been lucky so far with the bloods it's gone down everytime. One of the things I do see like you is that there isn't much info from them it does...

I'm glad I cheered you up, sometimes when your frustrated, down or angry you kind of try to throw humour into it to cheer yourself up and I think I tried to do that with the "will to live" thing with the practice nurse. I felt myself frustrated with her but also feeling down and kind of angry to...

Thanks, I actually felt a buzz when he finished but that was just pure relief because it wasn't what I'd worried myself about. Just want to point out I said "it doesn't make your eye feel different", what I mean is it doesn't feel numb or weird and you can't feel any pain. I would point out it...

Ok the laser surgery, some said they wanted to know how I went on and it also maybe help others in the future. Before I went I was petrified, I'd already been to the docotor who was going to do the surgery to kind of gain confidence but even so when I went this morning I was still scared. So...

Yes in various colours as long as it's white :wink:

Everything went great, thank you :D

I'm wondering if they'll let me close both eyes and have a couple shots of whiskey :wink: I know talking about the laser, doctors etc as helped and reading the replies as also helped.

Will do, I go for the eye laser in another hour so let you know how that went. Bit calmer than I have been, I lip sing when I'm nervous so I maybe in a straight jacket later on :D

Include a photo here if you wish to. You don't want one of them, even my mum doesn't have a photo up of me. What is your name? Neil (boring) How old are you? 46 Are you male or female? Male Which country are you from? England Which city/area do you live in? North West Are you...

It's given me a new lease of life to be honest, although I've had to change all my clothes because none of them fitted anymore and it's cost me short term in the longterm it's cheaper as I don't need to send off for them anymore, I can even buy clothes in Tesco now :D And you saying the...

Thanks Roy, yeah I've never really measured myself for years so did it today and I'm 5ft 9 1/4in not as tall as I thought but 2 1/4in more than the practice nurse stated the last time she did it, also made sure I was wearing the same shoes, measured myself 3 times and still never came close to...

It made me feel better writing it down, more so that I posted it and even better that I got replies. I know I stated the reply part wasn't important but it helps to know that you aren't moaning for nothing and that people understand what your going through because they know people or have been...

No idea about the specific gp, although they even confuse me on where I should go let alone which doctor. See I can either go to the local surgery which is like 500 yards away but isn't open all the time or I can go to the health centre which is around 2 miles away, to be honest it doesn't...

The practice nurse has given me nothing to be honest, the first time I saw her I expected to be walking out with a bag full of leaflets and a brain full of information overload. She said nothing about losing the weight which I was kind of proud of losing over a stone, part of me however was...

I know this is long winded but needed to get it off my chest before my head exploded. When I joined this forum I didn't really have any intention of ever posting, simple reason being I didn't feel I needed to talk about anything and just wanted to pick up diet tips and such however that's all...
