thank you all so much for your kind words they are much appreciated. I was back to the drs today with an infected insect bite (which strangely healed 2 weeks ago) but which is now due to diabetes and my weight. Saw a different doctor and almost walked out in tears, had a strip torn off me because i'm still overweight. I get the feeling that she thinks that i've had a week to sort it out and get the weight off and what's my excuse? was told i should basically expect to feel hungry until i've lost all my weight, i should go for a half hour walk (5miles her words) every day in my lunch break and demanded to know why i couldn't walk to work (25miles each way is why). OH says i should complain but i don't know if i'm just being over sensitive.

No you are not being over sensitive LT - you have been trying to lose weight, you now have a (potentially) life threatening disease and you would like help with both! Have you tried going to somewhere like https://www.caloriecount.about.com (American site but does have some UK stuff on - it is what I use), PM me if you want an off list gripe!

Can you change Drs surgery?....if not complain to the practice manager or local PCT..you should not be spoken to like that.



Dragon..glad the Tamiflu are helping....at least it will keep some of it at bay.

Well things are moving on! I went out for the first time in a week (ie post Tamiflu and with the Doctors agreement) and I am now shattered - but I am moving on! Tomorrow I plan on staying in (so a NSD ) and I will get some cleaning done AND I plan on getting some stitching done as well - the question is do I go for the r u d d y cat ornaments or the easy option :D

Oooh in other news it looks like we are getting a Cairn Terrier! we have the chance of a house trained pup

Hi Dragon.... I'm glad to hear there's life after swine flu. Can I ask you, when did you first get symptoms? I got mine 6 days ago, and I must say I don't feel that great right now. Tho also, because I was out of the country till the end of the 5th day, I haven't gone on the tamiflu. You sound like you're doing okay - glad to hear it.

I felt grim all the time I was taking the Tamiflu but as soon as I stopped taking them I started to feel better :rotfl:, but you have to take it so the flu doesn't mutate!
