IM was supposed to be going on a short trip which would involve 2 international airports each way, but he can't get flight times that work. So, that's on hold for now. I can't say I'm not relieved. If I'm worried about anything it's the food and meds supply chain and that's beyond my control...

I'm in the south east of England. I'm pretty much housebound all the time. Might make it out once a week and, ME permitting, I'll still go out. Having said that I live in a relatively rural location. My husband sometimes has to go in to a city for for work. Has to fill the car with fuel...

Quick aside -sorry - Could you cut them out with a scissors @Wonko? Sometimes there's just enough room at the edge of the foil blister.... Which won't help at all if you can't get them anyway I realize.

Very thought provoking and moving. Humans, no matter their circumstances, need time and space to grieve, be angry, be sad. It's only in experiencing these emotions that we learn to cope with them. They're just as much part of life as love, compassion and gratitude. Experiencing them doesn't...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Sarcastic laughter from the UK.- Levothyroxine - street value of zero, non addictive, essential for hypothyroidism and generally a medication you'll need for life. The NHS (wrongly) dictates that despite the body's demand for T4 fluctuating naturally (albeit slowly) once a...

Yeah, that's what I thought too, which is why I got IM to check them too. Nope, warm either side of the cold patch.

I'm not sure of when it was, maybe when a parent died, but my siblings and I all had to sign paperwork. This was shortly before I was diagnosed and they really took the proverbial - " What the hell is that? " "My name!" " In klingon? " Cheek!

No, I don't think I've experienced this in a specific joint, but occasionally in a hand or foot (not symmetrical), or soft tissue. It doesn't hurt, just a sensation. One of the issues I have with the buzz/vibration of my HR monitor alert is that it can feel very similar and I've ignored it...

I do occasionally get cold patches. I'm not sure if it was restricted to my knees though, but it may be that I just didn't notice until it spread. Or that I haven't remembered. I get cold thighs - from the knee to halfway up the thigh, sometimes the whole thigh. The leg above and below feel...

Swots ;). I got into no end of trouble over handwriting. My parents moved house and I had to switch to a new school. Although I was fine academically, they decided my handwriting needed urgent attention. So, as an 8 year old, on top of all my usual homework I got several hours worth of...

It's becoming depressing. Recently there have been a few incidences of people making reference to something that could make a significant difference. Then I realize, nope done that, have the t-shirt, didn't work as originally advertised many years ago. It feels like a merry go 'round, or like...

Ah. I have had this happen at a keyboard .... Well, it happens more frequently with my right arm & I am right handed so it happens with a mouse. Touchscreen keyboard's aren't so bad as I usually just use 2 fingers, though I am a lot less accurate than with a "real" keyboard. Using a real...

Yes, I have problems writing by hand. I find a thicker pen much easier to use. Unfortunately, I have a habit of breaking the nibs on fountain pens :(. IM has banned me from using his in the past. Sooner or later my writing becomes fairly illegible no matter what I use!

And So, leading theory from over 20 years ago. This stuff was being peddled when I first got sick.

I find it hard to follow all the details @Dx Revision Watch, but is it possible that they are trying to circumvent possible restrictions that might be imposed by ICD11? You & @Medfeb have done so much work to keep their feet on the ground with the new coding, could this be their way of trying...

I find it hard to believe that the ignoring, lack of recording or observing harms is innocent. Without evidence of harms, the powers that be can claim ignorance and it gives them a level of protection as they steamroller ahead with an agenda that has more to do with politics than health...

So......when I was barely 30 and in huge amounts of pain all of the time and happily ignoring them because my doc told me everything was normal and I believed her, assuming that maybe everyone my age felt this bad all of the time, how come I got worse?

Oh that's awful! In your own home too....:hug:

I just find it incredibly difficult to find someone reliable. I've tried.a couple of times. They want to keep swapping their days.....one didn't want to come when the dog was there, even though he is kept with me and well out from under their feet the whole time they were in the house. I found...

It probably won't work on the vertical walls but..... On the fairly rare occasions I have a go at a job like this I find that if the limescale remover runs off the area especially round taps and the like I soak a j-cloth or kitchen towel and place that over the area. Also rather than just...
