    It has gone up again by .4, 8.9, worst it has ever been. And i have been trying really hard to get it to 7.

    It doesn't sound so bad but i have lost my sight twice now and next time it will be for good so i am a bit scared.

    I like both of you so much. I really do know the nicest people on MSE. Martin Lewis PMd me the other week so happy.

    Bob he is a hero as he always answers my questions and doesn't tell me to shut up or tell me off for being stupid. I am at some things. I am catching up though.

    Any way we must all sleep so goodnight and bless you both for cheering me up. Big hugs and goodnight, kit.

    On that note we better call it a night. We need to look after ourselves and i need my beauty sleep.

    I'll echo Bob's words and say SW, make sure you inject before going to bed. NOW please!

    Was good to chat with you both. Will hopefully not be out of the picture for too much longer.

    Goodnight girls.

    Edit: Hijack away Bob... the dreams i've had of that...

    He is a lovely person and i have had a pm before too:D Only one though so you are honoured.:j:T

    You certainly aren't stupid and there is no such thing as a dumb question..unless it is about snuggling up to Mr.B:eek:

    Have a good night Kit and have an equally good day tomorrow. xx

    every 6 months. Retinopathy is very mild but as i get run down (due to stress - honestly i dont have jaffacakes or my gp would kill me) I get eye infections and my site goes. It happened when i was 21 for about 6 months and i lost the sight in one eye for 4 months due to a big eye ulcer which wouldn't go.

    I am good just a bit run down. I have to be more selfish dr says and not worry. Am a bit stupid in that dept.

    anyways we must sleep. So goodnight and thank you both once again. Are you sure you can't come bob i want to hug you,you are fab. You remind me of my other friend Georg(ina) she is very clever - economics and history at Oxford - you are so alike and both wonderful.

    anyways, shut up kit. off to beddybyes.

    I would be tempted to look up re new treatments and retinopathy, i read an article about it that is specifically aimed at your problem.

    I wish i had done economics and history. I was offered a place to do a combined honours degree but opted for the BA HONS with QTS..oh if only i had known..:rotfl: x

    New balance: £6,464

    Will try phoning the bank by the end of the week to see if they can give me a settlement figure for the loan. It migh only be a saving of £100 or less as i need to do a balance transfer, but i'd rather i have it than the bank.

    Went to physio today and hopefulyl that's the last time i'll need to see him for a while. Nothing out of place and was just working on muscle so i'll be feeling it tomorrow, but hopefully it's all sorted.

    Also saw Doctor today for test results. Tested negative for Celiac disease so no worries about gluten or anything i'm eating. Glucose test was fine and he said the other tests were quite good all round so there's nothing major that's causing this. Bad news is that just means i'm weird. I'm ill all the time and there's nothing wrong with me :( I've been given some fibre stuff to take and will need to be carefult that it isn't stress that's making me ill. Blood pressure seems okay though so i'm at a bit of a loss as to what i should be looking for with regards to stress - throttling the boss, is that stress (or stress relief)?

    I'm going to work out a schedule to stick to so that i'm not overdoing anything when i'm at home and making sure health as well as relaxation have some time allotted. Still constantly tired and thirsty, but i can live with that - now i know it's nothing serious. Will need to work out some good stress buster and spend a little less time on the computer - the programming still has to be done, but i'm not worried about it being messy and slow now. No-one else is going to be looking at it and as long as it gets the job done, that's all that matters.

    That's me signing off for now. Will give another update on things sometime - you know what i'm like posting here :D

    Yes we do. Glad that there is nothing to worry about test wise, so it just sounds like you need a tonic or something to pick you up. Keep on plodding George.:D
