[QUOTE="Musicmaker, post: 42653, member: 13343"] . Hi Guys! I am Saphire Blues 'Hubby' (I am English, she is American). Sadly, due to the conditions she describes in her opening post, she was admitted to Hospital a week ago. In spite of her confidence in her GP, they had got it all wrong!!! She has complained for many months that she couldn't swallow, and was not eating properly. The Dr said, lets get your diabetes under control, then we will look at your throat problems. Sadly, it should have logically been the other way round ....If you can't eat, you can't control your diabetes!!! A week ago (for the third time!) - I had to rush her into A&E with food stuck in her gullet - they admitted her this time on my insistence, and to cut it short, found that the tube from her throat to her stomach had several restrictions. For a long time, she had 'picked' at food and not eaten properly, and of course this caused a loss of weight (about 45lbs in the last 2 months). I have later discovered from her family in US, that this condition is heriditary, her father had the same problem, as well as her Sisters Son! She was falling over and damaging herself, had lost co-ordination of her hands (she is a musician, and couldn't play), she couldn't use her computer keyboard, and her lips were covered in sores. They have already 'opened her pipes' with 'cucumbers' - (she calls the gadgets !), and is very sore, and still not eating, and has lost another 4Kg in the last 7 days in hospital. They have changed her insulin method from 'Novapen' to a much easier to use system which looks rather like a 'kitchen timer', and cut down her dosage by a third. For those that have sent their Good Wishes, may I thank you, and, as I said she is a musician, here is her page on the internet (on my Web site), where you can see her (as she was a few months ago!), and listen to her amazing talent. Please click here ..... [url]http://www.john4music.tv/10.html[/url] and....(with speakers on!) ..................... [url]http://www.psrtutorial.com/P/HaddletonS.html[/url] May I wish all members, from both of us, A happy and healthier New Year, full of Peace, Light and Love. John . [/QUOTE]
