A friend of mine is going to need a stem cell transplant. If anyone had been thinking of joining the register, please can you do it:

calleyw love those bins! they should paint them like that all over the country would make everyone smile and even encourage them to put their litter in them

Thank you Whitewing - not sure if they would accept me but I'll check it out.

Love the bins

I'm wide awake, too warm to sleep and my patterns are really easily disrupted. Less dad, and feel less ill so it's still an improvement. Keep being told I have a really positive approach to my conditions - they suck enough without me being made miserable by them too! Also, can remember my first food intolerance from about age 5, and major bouts of unidentified illness from age 14. This is my normal

I also know what I have achieved and may be able to do so again. Variable conditions kinda force you to live in the now, take chances and have experiences while you can. Not in a morbid way, just to keep the quality of life up. Esp when some research days ME/CFS sufferers have the lowest quality of life of all chronic conditions. I'm too stubborn to let it hold me back!

I'm awake - now in full on quadruple checking mode. I'm probably going to be horribly grumpy later.
Do you have any sort of pattern to your good/bad day, dragonette, or does your condition make it up as it goes along?

I can quite categorically say that this Monday is less fun than last Monday - the post-LARP blues have definitely set in!

That's the worst but about holidays Code. I don't tend to go away much at all as I don't enjoy it a huge amount due to worrying about Little Sod. Although to be fair I am mainly worrying about whether he has tried to eat anyone, escape, destroyed things etc etc

Won't the change of scene do the dog good, like it does people good? I am a firm believer in explaining what's going on, even if the dog won't understand it. (Always worked to an extent with pre-speech children, although I didn't leave them at a doggery/whatever they are called).

WW, do you know why you can only join the register aged 16-30 but can stay on it till 60?
I joined a few years ago so am on the register but a lot of people I talk to now would like to join but are now too old
