About
Well let’s see here… stats: 5’7”… slim build… size 7 feet… Very Well Educated… gorgeous looking… talk-a-holic… and madly great humour! I’m also a member of the International Song Writers Guild. Well i think that’s it for stats unless you have any queries? And I’m from West Yorkshire. I have two most wonderful sons, they are my treasure and world, they’re nicely crazy, and as you can see from the photos they are both very good looking (mmmm possibly a bit like me!) They both like music; one is learning guitar and the other wants to drum. Yes he has a drum kit in the bedroom, neighbours must love us! Attended Woodend First School, Windhill Church First School, and then Windhill C of E First School, Wycliffe Middle School and finally Nab Wood Grammar, yes a few schools but lots of changes to the education system were happening… I think that’s the excuse! My favorite bands and heroes; Zep, Hendrix, AC/DC, Cream, The Jam… (too many to mention but I think you get the drift) up to present day stuff; Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, James Blunt (I know, I know!), and many more that I haven’t got a clue what…
Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis diagnosis was by lung biopsy on Friday 15th October and skin biopsy on 23rd of December 2010. being dianosed as a sarcoidosis sufferer was a real shock… In 2000 my dentist could not fathom out what was going on with my gums though he did ask if I had diabetes? As my breath sometimes smelt and tasted somewhat metallic-ish which are symptoms, I got checked for diabetes and was all clear. Then at the Leeds dental hospital it was mentioned that my gums seemed to be over reacting to plaque and food etc. but no further action was required. In 2001 I told my X wife something felt not right with me, was it all in my mind that I just did not feel ok but continued with work and cycling. I told all this to my boss. In 2002 I put all my problems down to a difficult divorce and subsequent lack of contact with my sons, without given too much detail I lost my job and began on a spiral the wrong way up. Fast forward to 2006 I started going to my Doctors with many various problems, most of these were put down to the personal stress of the previous…

What is living with sarcoidosis
The day begins Sarcoidosis sufferer. Having hadSarcoidosis diagnosed, first through the lung biopsy and then the skin biopsy something plays on my mind a lot. It would be very easy to remind myself I – along with so many others – have a serious medical condition and therefore does that mean I can no longer do all the activities in life I truly enjoy? It would be easy to sit back and vegetate waiting for my treatment to help make me feel better – remission maybe Well, over the last few weeks the decisions have finally been reached, I must get up and crack on with the physical enjoyments in life; walking, cycling, music – performing, and to some degree; cooking and writing, its easy to cook the ready meals but nope, its got to be freshly cooked meals by myself, easy cooking for easy folks will again take shape.Continue reading on
