    It is dreadful that he has been ill for so long and has no diagnosis.

    Thank you everyone for your kindness. Spent 2hrs chatting with her tonight, good old Skype, and she was less tearful when we said goodbye. I wake my poor husband about 4am to check the iPad for an update from her. Good job he is such a nice guy.

    Today's query is TB? But doesn't seem to match his symptoms in my opinion, my only medical experience is mum to 4!

  • :(i can sympathize Seths gran
    my mother has been ill since march
    mystery illness (after a bad bout of flu)
    dr has tested for everything, as has the hospital
    she is now attending the neurology unit to see if they can find out whats wrong
    she has gone from a strong independant woman to one who cannot get out of bed for days on end, and can be right again the next day:(
    dr said they will rule out everything and put it down to ME
    as it doesnt have a difinitve diagnosis:(

    i hope you SIL gets help soon and is on the mend

    Just what happened to me - never had Flu in my life until DD came home from Uni - ill for me to nurse. DD kindly shared her Flu with me - went on to chest infection then Pleurisy. I lost loads of weight - was tested for bowel cancer - I was SO Anemic. In the end I was diagnosed with ME - that was in 1995.

    hey everyone, hope everyone doing well and crafting! I went to hobbycraft today and got a few things for my crafting projects. I have a few things on the go right now
    1) paper mache a new sealed pot (i'm trying to make a horse!),
    2) a small cross stitch kit for my mom,
    3) 2 teddy bear making kits (one was a gift!)
    and 4) two taggy blankets (although these are taking forever cos our sewing amchine is sick!).
    I also bought several packs of tissue paper, a roll of cellophane, a cookie cutter, several bits of christmas ribbon and bows and some black felt.
    Was debt free then ex walked out and COVID hit.

    Still no news everyone. Tomorrow it is biopsys so not sure how long to wait after that.

    On a more cheerful note I am thinking of making a couple of these for my grand babies for Christmas. They will be 14 month and 1 year at Christmas. http://www.gonetoearth.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=261_419_176&products_id=608
