And 1999 ... Horrible year for me ... On 7th Feb I went to the docs with spot and swelling on my upper lip ... 6 weeks later my whole face was covered in spots and redness ... I had 2 weeks off work and an emergency consultation with local dermatologists who put me immediately on roaccutane and steroids ... This had little effect ... Taken back to Yorkshire by parents at Easter, as they had been horrified when they saw me. Diagnosed and hospitalised on Easter Saturday, consultant at LGI was world class and an expert in my condition. Six months off work and at home with parents. Slow recovery, finally discharged in Feb 2004, five years after first affected.

Ooops! And suddenly it's 2002 ...

PFT - it was you!!!!!!

OK, I'll pass to Beanie....Beanie, over to you I think....

Ooh Silverdarling that sounds truly awful!

I guess 2006 was a good year in that I qualified as a nurse and achieved my ambition of a degree under my belt. Very pleased (even though it hasn't lasted long...my career that is )

Does it have to be a boy's name, only I know somebody who would like it to be called Candy! Hmm can't think who...

Bean

Go for it beanie

Oh ok...can I go for Chatterbox Candy please?

Bean

Hope everything is well for Julie

@Wolfie Fiona was the name of the dog we had before, a lovely name for a lovely girl Lots of positive thoughts for her to be as strong and as healthy as possible for a long long time

I stayed with him all day because, and it will be difficult to explain in English but here, in the countryside, we have some tradition, some people can heal with magnetic hands or anyway help heal with hands, which is my case, even if I don't use it often. I used it to calm him down, because of his heart condition, he needs to be as relaxed as possible. So I put my hands on his chest and head and kind of meditate for quite some time and it seems to help him. It's really strange because it's a bit like he knows that I am here to help him

That link may explain a bit what I mean

Fiona is named after the princess in Shrek( Arwen from Lord of the Rings and Diego from Ice Age ) and I'm happy to hear that you are able to help your boy that way. I'm a firm believer of such powers, my sis (who is an ordained priest) borough back one of her friends from the brink of death and the people in the ICU had never experienced anything like that.

More soft strokes and nose kisses over to you

@PennyForthem
I'm still here Penny! I disappeared for a while but am back and posting on the running, maintenance and fitness threads. I'm still fasting once or twice a week (twice at the moment as I want to lose 2kgs before running a half marathon in April).
Not sure what happened to @Pashcaline, though! I hope she is OK, but I'm not sure she continued with the diet as she seemed to find it quite hard.

Coucou, Sorry guys I have been poorly and still am with ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia and Vertigo. I am not allowed to do any diet from my Doctor's order. And I gained weight . Eating healthily though. Hope everybody are ok!!! Xxxxxxxxx

Hi @Pashcaline my doctor knows i fast with CFS and thinks its ok,so i guess the orders vary from doc to doc!
I havent had any adverse effects in the sevenish months ive been doing it..the reverse really....
Theres a thread here on fasting and CFS..sorry,sometimes my ipad wont let me give links...but if youre interested in reading it,its under Fasting and Medical Conditions on the HomePage x
Hope you get some improvements in your health problems..C fS is a horrible thing isnt it x

O Oh. Are we missing a few postings on this thread? Anything to do with the outage?

What is outage @rawkaren and how are you?
Think its just we moved from,Beanie to Candy when we got to 2000 posts on,Beanie x
