Goodnight Diamum5972.
I'm going to say good night as well - thanks for the laughs, my son and cat are looking equally puzzled at the snorts and giggles coming from my corner!
Just wait until your next "promotion" Barbara and William.Welcome to @kjc2011 who is bound to be wondering what's going on. I'm off to bed now I got up early as usual and my body clock hasn't caught up with the clock change. Good night all
Oh and promotion? Sounds interestingThank you for the warm welcome sorry u didn't reply last night shattered and fell asleep typical me lol well I'm about to get up and test before brekkie see how I am and looking forward to the last day if term at school with a cheeky two weeks off xx
Back on track Today, a little sore and tender, but I did get a full workout in this morning using lower weights, so a combination of Humira, testosterone and endorphins did their work.@Stallen - Sorry to hear you have had a 'flare up' - any pointers as to why? I certainly feel for you and hope it is short lived. So you have your Biological on an evening - and then when you wake you are OK. Can I ask if your blood sugars are erratic for a few days after injecting the Humira?
Yes, I was offered the Morphine Patches a few years ago, but, with having the Diabetes I refused them.
I went to bed at 1.30am and was up/dressed at 4am the bed is not nice to me, but the sofa is kinder. I find on an evening watching TV I have several "cat naps" for about 20 - 30 minutes so I am getting some sleep. And I keep saying to myself tomorrow I'll be in less pain than I had today = there's always hope! I hope you feel better in the morning and would you put a posting on the thread? As soon as my drug kicks in everybody will hear of it.
Ha ha flipping ha you lot! Im glad @doolallylady s not presently on the forum or you three would gang up on me
@mo53 I was going to suggest increasing your water intake.@mo53
Just googled and came up with this, hope it might be of some help
Dehydration: Sports and other vigorous activities can cause excessive fluid loss from perspiration. This kind of dehydration increases the likelihood of true cramps. These cramps are more likely to occur in warm weather and can be an early sign of heat stroke. Chronic volume depletion of body fluids from diuretics (medicine that promote urination) and poor fluid intake may act similarly to predispose to cramps, especially in older people. Sodium depletion has also been associated with cramps. Loss of sodium, the most abundant chemical constituent of body fluids outside the cell, is usually a function of dehydration. Continue Reading
Low potassium: Low potassium blood levels occasionally cause muscle cramps, although it is more common for low potassium to be associated with muscle weakness.

Hi William, how are you today?
I read that you had a good few hours sleep so I'm hoping that it has made you feel a lot better and that maybe the injections are starting to take the edge off the awful pain you are in.
Guess what I saw in Tesco's this morning that made me think of you? Bags of large Caramac buttons. Don't know if they are everywhere or even new, but it's something to look out for as a treat.

Hi @liam1955 ! Like you, I have a real sweet tooth, but I've come up with a great choc-fix which you might like to try... I mixed two melted 80g Chocologic sugar-free dark chocolate bars with a jar of almond butter, added two tsp of Monin sugar-free Caramel syrup and a tbsp of double cream and christened it No-tella. OK, it's not as smooth and decadent as real Nutella, but it's not a bad substitute and it's only 90 cals and 1.5g of carbs per tbsp (as opposed to 100 cals and 10.5g of carbs for real Nutella). I hope it helps!@mo53 - Well done on the swimming. In the summer months do you swim in the sea at all? Yes, I like both of the Tunnocks Wafers and teacakes - but then this will not surprise anyone!!! I have been really good and not eaten anything sweet today. Guess what we are doing tomorrow? = Food Shopping, but at least I get a toasted T-Cake and a Latte out of it in Waitrose. So I cannot complain really.
Hi, @mo53! I have a tendency to cramp in my feet too, particularly when I go to bed. For me, it seems to be caused by dehydration (because I forget to drink enough during the day) and lack of movement if I've spent a lot of time at my desk, but I also find if I drink an Oxo cube in a mug of hot water about an hour before I go to bed I don't get cramp so often, so I think it's certainly salt-related.Hello friends. A question... Could cramp be caused by lack of salt? For the last couple of hours I've been getting cramp in my hands and toes. So I've got an oxo cube dissolved in boiling water to give me some salt. Does anybody have any ideas?
10K likes is a lota lota likesAm I? Goodness so I am. I have absolutely no idea why William
Hmmm, I'm not a fan of sea-swimming either. I love the idea of it, but the reality of the seawater up the nose when I misjudge the waves, the seaweed which wraps slimily around the ankles, or the unseen squishy thing between the toes which wriggles when you accidentally step on it - yuckkkkkkkkkkkk!!! I spend more time flapping around hysterically, squeaking in disgust, than I do actually swimming.Hello @liam1955 we were posting at the same time. I'm not a great sea swimmer although I love to paddle lol. I tend to stick to the pool all year. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for my 6monthly glaucoma eye check. I'm sure you will enjoy the shopping, or at least the teacakes.
