    Are you sure it's OK to have Grapefruit with your blood pressure tablets. Most of them say not to eat or drink grapefruit, mine certainly do and Pharmacy also warn me- sometimes printing it on the labels ?

    Would love to join the fat club, but fear I would fail right from the start having just finished Individual and Group Therapy for an Eating Disorder and all that resulted in was putting on even more weight :(

    Hi Sue
    no I'm fine with grapefruit. but did have those tabs for a while, with bad side effects, so this is the fourth set of meds and the only thing I can't have is NSAID which is a pain in more ways than one as I have arthritis and a slipped disc.
    I really don't know how I will get on with the club as I am clueless about diets.

    It's strange really, I used to take my Dad for radiotherapy there so it holds a lot of memories. It was very surreal sitting back in that waiting room again.
    He had a brain tumour so wasn't allowed to drive once he began treatment and I took him 3 days a week for his 6 week course. So I'm already pretty familiar with the way things work there, where to go etc. At least thats one less stress I suppose.

    And as you say, 3 weeks in the grand scheme of things is nothing. I'll still have mornings with the boys, evenings with DH and my weekends won't be affected at all.

    Before I know it i'll be :j:j to you all that i've finished :)

    Thats better :D you're just not you when you're not seeing the upside! I don't doubt for a minute you've found that very difficult at times recently. It's got you this far. You're running a relay all by yourself.....final baton change now! :D:)

    My mum sailed through her first bout of radiotherapy without any really bad side affects, she said it felt like she had got a bit sun burnt and she did get a bit more tired than usual.

    The four lots she had in her later years were also not too bad considering she did not have age on her side, just took longer to get over the tiredness.

    Before you know it will all be over and it will be a big step taken on your journey. :A
