Hi, everybody - and Prudence - I am smiling.:) Isn't it great to be able to roll out of bed again without 15 minutes of careful planning! I have now had the diagnosis confirmed by the hospital clinic, and have been on steroids for 2 weeks - what a difference! I have booked in for my...

Sorry I have taken a while to get back here but various problems in the family left me snowed under. I was on Lisinopril too and was told it was for blood pressure. As far as I knew there was no problem with my blood pressure and I was told "as a precaution". I was also given a prescription...

For about 18 months I have had frozen shoulder in my right shoulder for which I was having physio. I am left handed. Last November I had cold, fever and sore throat and self-medicated in the usual way, i.e. paracetamol and sugar free Halls mentholatus and sugar free robotussin. got over it...

these are my favourite snacks - 1 rich tea biscuit spread with whole earth crunchy peanut butter or 1 braeburn apple cut into wedges and dipped into philadelphia light individual pot. not ultra light, tastes of soap to me,

Hello everyone my name is Jan and I have been diabetic type 2 about 9 years. I kept my HBA1C at 6.3 until I was made redundant at age 61.5, shortly after my husband died and I took retirement rather than try and get a job that could go to someone younger in the present economic climate...
