I had a brought forward rhumatology appointment this morning as my GP was worried about my joints and pain levels and my ESR had shot up. My consultant said I need to go back on the sulfasalazine...
Just had a sheer frustration moment over my garden which is just beyond me at the moment. Tried to get out and do some today but my stupid arthritis won and in a real fed up moment I rang the number...
Got a bit adventurous earlier when I went to a Chinese supermarket with a friend and decided to buy some goodies for tea, never realised how cheap it was! I got some vermicelli noodles and wanted to...
My current laptop is pretty much dead so i'm looking around at how much it would cost for me to get a new one. I mainly use it for the Internet, email, work stuff (mainly word documents), storage wise...
I came home late last night and my front lawn looked a lot neater than when I left early that morning. Thought it might have been the dark/tiredness. Was out front this morning looking st it a bit...
Usually it's being moaned about so thought I'd post something I was impressed with. Ventured to big Asda for some food and bought a cooked chicken reduced down to £2.47. They charged me full...

I was prescribed Omeprazole earlier (40mg per day) for a suspected stomach ulcer (had them before). Wondering if the painkillers I've been taking hasn't helped and maybe caused/aggravated it. I've...
Following on from a conversation at work about how different people have breakfast barms (or rolls/baps etc... for non Northerners) or what they do have for breakfast. Barm wise I would have either...
I'm going to a BBQ at the weekend and it's a Hawaian theme. From previous parties there, a big effort is made with costumes. There is no way I'm going for anything revealing so so bikini tops or grass...
I was prescribed flucloxicillin antibiotics yesterday for a couple of infected groin abcesses which have come up (get them quite often) and on 500mg 4 x a day. I had an MRI scan (small bowel) this...
I was thinking about this earlier when I reported something possibly suspicious (seemingly abandoned holdall in a very busy area in a city centre in rush hour) and felt a bit daft as no-one seemed...
Saw my GP earlier for an arthritis check up and checked out my suspected sun damage. She reckons it's pityriasis versicolor (full marks for Sara for suggesting it) and have some cream to get rid of...

I'm not really one for full on diets but thought it could be interesting for people to post ideas of little things that people can incorporate easily that can make a difference to be healthier as well...
I've just been having a look and found something I badly need locally. I posted a message back to the poster I assume is emailed to them? Do you get an email back with any reply or do you have to...

There have been some falcon projects round Manchester city centre for a while now, stunning birds and, although difficult to see as they are so high up, easy to locate due to their cries as so...
Argh, how annoying are those noises you can pin down! There's been this wierd pulsing noise, for about 5 seconds then off for a few minutes then on again), almost like phone on vibrate but further...
