And I know a lady permanently affected by the bird flu vaccine....she received a compensation payout but that doesn't bring the feeling back into her legs....she had to have a spinal block for the pain.....teach herself to walk without feeling her legs and she was determined not to have to wear incontinence pants especially at work......I've had spinal block for both my hip replacements and god knows how she walks....I couldn't even make my toes twiddle

then due to my attention deficit abnormalities accidentally put 2 sugars in mine and rather than waste the mug of tea i drank it because lee provided the ingredients for it. i've been drinking a lot of tap water to rectify my blood glucose level and then i can resume my lchf diet.

i love this forum. i've learned a lot from everyone involved in it and i am very grateful indeed. hugs to all of you and bless you all for being there for me.

Good afternoon Johnny, well done for realising what has caused your blood sugar spike and it was a very good decision to drink lots of tap water afterwards. You're making excellent progress with your diabetes and we're very proud of you for it

I'm not going to have any more 'flu vaccinations. I had the last one in early September 2015, caught 'flu in late November, and I was more ill than I have ever been in my life. I turned down two "offers" of a hospital bed and ended up on oxygen therapy at home. (At considerably less cost to the NHS, and immeasurably less stress to me!) It took me until March to get over it.

You might have caught the wrong type of flu. When they're developing a flu vaccine, they need to start well in advance, and basically have to gamble on which type will be most prevalent. They are amazingly effective and save countless lives each year, with very, very few adverse reactions - but if you're unlucky enough to catch a different strain they won't help. I don't think you can blame the vaccination for how bad a different disease was. I would encourage everyone to get vaccinated. I've had flu in the past and it's dreadful - in fact, my dad nearly died of Hong Kong flu in 1968, though even the milder types are responsible for 1,000s of deaths each year.

Rons says his arm is sore and stiff from it yesterday ,plus hes not coped very well at work today with his hips and legs have given out on him . Not going in for rest of the week now .
 
Swimming went well, came home and found I had burnt the dinner I was preparing in advance for wife and son's supper, in and out to the shops for Plan B. Swimming was good, 45 mins, mostly treading water keeping an eye on son and making sure he was not spending too long at the bottom of the deep end at any one time...

After nearly +2 years of Low Carb and never really feeling hungry between meals, I'm finding I have an appetite for stuffing my face with food... it's a worry as that might be a thin edge...

Stuff it with the good stuff and you'll be fine. Bit of kitchen experimenting for a new twist on things
 
Week 4 of my 7 week Self management course today, 3 hours this afternoon. Took my Lemon Cake low carb - was awarded Star Baker status :) many of the others amazed it was low carb.

Told by DN that you shouldn't be testing if not on insulin, ignoring that - and in a group environment I didn't have the energy to challenge. My goal for next week is to review my testing device though, strips for mine are expensive. Want to use app too so I can analyse more

Am I learning anything on my course? Probably not half as much as I've learnt here!

Yep, that's my thoughts exactly ..... " you have to keep pricking your finger, it's not very nice" ... I'm a grown man for gawd sake not a little child :mad::mad::mad:
 
Well, I'm back from my knitting group - after walking for an hour and a half today I'm ready to sink into a nice warm bath! Good night everyone
