Interests
My new loves - my G-piggies Garry, Minty, Benjamin and Dave...and Dave (did anyone spot that?!). Genealogy, researching dead people(!), history, travel (holidays people, nothing involving backpacks...), languages (ha!), orange and all things Dutch (Bert, Ernie and Boswandeling!), goat's cheese salad at Casa Nova, chicken at La Bota, paella at Mary's, chocolate from anywhere. Dancing in Tropicana, laughing about Frank, getting free drinks in Cantona's, people watching the Brits abroad... Rugby (union, not league...I like to watch the MEN'S game!), therefore Jonny Wilkinson, Carlos Spencer, Simon Shaw... Casualty (because of Simon MacCorkindale), The Bill (because of Daniel Flynn) and Hollyoaks (because I'm still a teenager at heart!). Talking of which, Take That (Howard Donald...!!), U2, El Chaval de la Peca, anything else that happens to be catchy. Shoes, bags, stationery, sales, bargains...you see where this is going...I'm sure I'll add more. Oh...being happy and being me. I'm working on those last two...

Close Diabetes Type 1
It lives with me, not the other way round. Can have a bit of a blase attitude at times, but if it wasn't for me, there'd be a European chocolate mountain somewhere... Diagnosed 20th February 1989 just as I was about to eat a Viennese whirl...funny the things you remember!
Treatments
- Humalog Working / Worked
- Gives much more freedom than other mixed medication
- Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
Close Alzheimer's Disease
My late Nanna was the first person I'd known first hand to suffer from Alzheimer's. Fortunately she enjoyed a good quality of life up until she was 90, but over the next 5 years it was so difficult watching her slow decline. The hardest part really for both us and her was relatively soon after diagnosis when she was still very much aware of her surroundings & was at her most confused. She lived in care homes for her final years, all of which cared for her very well & kept her dignity intact.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
Never been what you'd call skinny, but I must get back on some sort of healthier eating plan. Have spent a lot of time stuffing my face while I've been off ill...and I'm starting to feel it now!
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Did quite well on this in 2005, but then fell off the wagon again. Must try and make it a habit!
Open Breakups & Divorce
Parents...who'd have 'em...?!
Open Plastic Surgery
Excision of tissue and postauricular Wolffe graft (apparently!!) after Perichondritis. Will be done under local anaesthetic on 19th April.
Treatments
- Surgery Too Soon to Tell
- Will let you know!
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a FriendMy best friend Gareth died on 15th October 2007 - four days before his 29th birthday. We'd not been in touch for a while and he had suffered a painful end from the effects of alcohol. He was doing well in rehab so why he relapsed one last time I don't know. I've got feelings of guilt and believe I neglected him as a friend.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Just letting it out.
- Scrapbooking Working / Worked
- I'm gathering together all the photos I can find.
Open Depression
I was ill for 9 months which left me feeling pretty down. I don't seem to be able to lift the mood. I'm tired all the time and have no enthusiasm for anything. I'm also grieving which doesn't help either!

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My friend Gareth was addicted to alcohol and died on 15th October 2007. He was four days short of his 29th birthday. The inquest date still needs to be set. We weren't close over the last few years and I feel I should have been there more for him.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Considering
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I've spoken to family and friends about what happened, but I feel that they have all moved on.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Writing helps the most as I'm not searching for someone else to listen. My friends seem to think that Gareth distanced himself from us, whereas in reality, we all moved on.
Open Tinnitus
I had Perichondritis which left my ear canal narrower than it was before. I don't know if it's technically Tinnitus, but I now have a permanent sussing sound in my right ear like I've been somewhere loud like a concert. I've also got a mild case of Labyrinthitis. Joy!!
Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
My late Nanna suffered for many years with MS, I think she was diagnosed around when I was born. At the time they said that she probably had symptoms from when she was 25ish. I guess 1943 wasn't as medically advanced!! Because I was young I never really learnt that much about it. Just trying to educate myself...
Open Prostate Cancer
My Dad is going in for exploratory surgery this Friday (25th Jan). I hope to God (is there one?) that there is nothing wrong.
Open Acromegaly
My Nanna suffered from this condition.
Open Pseudotumor Cerebri
Early days yet, but I have a very close friend who is going to see a neurologist tomorrow (28th Feb) for a probable diagnosis of BIH.
Open Cervical Cancer
