Living with sarcoidosis, the good, the bad, and lots of in between.

  • Actually, it is me.

    This is the most up to date capture of me, myself and I. The realisation is that I think I have hit a late midlife crises. I got rid of all my home mirrors, I rarely let any kind of ‘shots’ be taken of me, I only see myself in a pub mirror. Below, Royal Air Force 1983…

    And so I am sharing, this year I have spent so much time in bed, I must avoid becoming a reclusive hermit again. The bearded photo were taken by a top friend who I met about five years or so ago and I must remind myself I have actually come a long way within that time.

    So, I am 59 July 27th, I’m giving myself some kind of agenda to target (I dont do plans as plans can fail, agendas can be worked through), by the time of my 60th I am going to try get something creative published.

    On this site I have some great stuff, as mentioned before, and maybe try actually do something with it plus the new ‘stuff’ I am thinking out loud about.

    Mind you, I have bought new jumpers, shirts, socks. shoes, coats, jackets and my favorites, lots of hats, though I hate folks trying to touch and lift them off, not good.

  • Life; Marmite or Salt?

    At 58 I feel like I am approaching a roundabout with 58 exits, one for each year of my life. I could narrow it down to how many years I might have left or rather just the two exits of Marmite and Salt or maybe the traditional crossroads.

    Anyway, Marmite you either like it or you don’t and you can take things with a pinch of Salt and not worry about it. I feel somewhere in between, I am becoming more unsettled with my mind, I take meds for that and other things.

    It is confusing as I know far more folks are in a worse position of life than myself, it is not a matter of pull myself together or any of the insulting remarks people can try and offer. My dreams are getting ever more horrific yet also satisfying, for the previous years I have tried writing about ‘everything’ and sometimes it is pretty good yet I struggle to concentrate.

    I use to do some great creative stuff on this site as mentioned ‘Sarcoidosis, the good the bad and lots of in between’ though I am now diagnosed with a Severe Psychological Behaviour Disorder.

    Why am I writing this? Well, just to see if I can start to concentrate for small periods at a time and get back to regular blogging…

    I love Marmite and hardly use Salt.

  • In The Year 2023

    My third and final message this year.

    In 2023 I would like to see George Orwell’s 1984 go back to being fiction rather than actually happening. During this year I have been trying to get my head around various ‘issues’ that I would like to do or they bother me, so much failed mainly due to my confidence.

    In 2023 I will be attempting some more positive though small steps, like I try every year but the anxiety and depression always beat me leading to stress which can then bring on the Sarcoidosis, I genuinely do not like that cycle. I do have a few folks who are more than willing to help me, though I always feel like I am setting myself up to letting folks down.

    In 2023 I will make more of an effort and try get use to the upper dentures I have now got, I have 11 teeth left, mainly on the lower jaw. After the wounds finally healed, last week I wore them for the first time, used some Fixodent but the denture were far from a good fit, it fell out twice so I will go back and see if they can make it fit better, I am not confident to wear it again.

    In 2023 I will continue to try and be nice and kind.

  • In the Year 2022

    Well it’s almost been a year since I did anything on here, almost got rid of it but so much history has been recorded; the good, the bad and lots of in-betweens.

    And so I have decided at 58 to actually try better within the creativeness of me, got the Twitter and Instagram sorted, have the YouTube channel but it needs so much doing with it, maybe just now leave that and stick to those two.

    I’m going to try and keep out of politics, it’s the worse I have ever seen, especially how the MSM spin everything, perhaps I will mention my opinions on here?

    Although I do have alot to sort on this site, ch changes abound.

    So, Twitter is @StuartBriggs_ and Instagram is StuartBriggs_

    Lets see eh…

  • In the Year 2021

    This site is about 17 years old, it carries so much history of my life. last year I came close to just letting it go. I use to post so many ‘things’ that were so much fun to do and much more about my battles with illness and what comes with all that.

    In 2021 so much of the news has been depressing, I suffer anxiety stress and depression without all the doom and gloom added. This post I hope to keep straight forward and simple as I hope to be writing far more from now on…

    My opinions on some important issues arising in 2021: Child abusers should serve a minimum of 25 years in prison. Murderers should serve a minimum of 25 years in prison. Those carrying knives etc. should serve a minimum of 10 years in prison. Animal abusers should serve a minimum of 10 years in prison. Men should not be in womens spaces including prison. Men should not be taking part in womens sport.

    I have many other opinions but the above will do as some of the stuff from 2021 are simply sickening and ridiculous. I believe this really is what the vast majority of the United Kingdoms population, though silent, would want.

  • Good Grief

    I really need to stop giving my contact details out.

    An upto date photo of good looking me myself and I should be here, I’ve gone and forgotten how to do it, fucks sake.

  • Twitter Defends paedophiles

    You know, a few weeks ago I went back on Twitter as myself, no fake name and all that shit as what most leftism jobs seem to do.

    Not long ago I posted a comment replying to GB News’ Mercy Muroki on child abuse. My reply was ‘all #paedophiles should be hung’ and so a little while later #Twitter suspend me stating I broke terms and/or conditions of theirs!

    Hmmm, pretty much any folks I know would agree all paedophiles should be hung, why would Twitter disagree? Ah but so, this dreadful event is extreme child abuse with huge failures involved, do Twitter have child abusers working within that shit organisation? It appears the ever more extreme the leftism’s go, then child abuse seems to run parallel with them.

    Anyway, perhaps I should have been much more patient and said all child abusers should be hung? Just hang the lot, I can’t stand the fuckers, here is what I replied to yet got me suspended from twitter…

    This is superb…

  • That is Why!

    I need to be more of a reclusive hermit again, you know, away from most human beings. Sometimes I need to remind some folks I live with Sarcoidosis and mental health issues. Those folks remind me why I need to keep away from most folks. I have started to try the writing much more serious and see what happens, as the saying goes…

    Watch this space…

    Again!

  • Tokyo Olympics

    I’m sure it is not just myself, this version of the Olympics really isn’t doing anything for me. Amongst things politics has got so involved with sport, the Olympics now do nothing for me.

  • Dr Martens

    Dr Martens

    Well a new pair of boots arrived. I have worn ‘Docs’ most of my life with the yellow stitching join on the inside. The pair I received has the stitching join on the outside, ok if it overlapped neatly but the left boot doesn’t, arrggghhhh I hate sending stuff back…
