Stuart Briggs

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

  • Matthew Briggs, happy 17th son

    How time goes so quickly, and how not enough time. Hope you have a brilliant birthday son. One day I should hope to treat you and Jacob in some kind of ‘proper’ fashion. Love you both tons.

  • Eat yourself, say’s Bob

    I reckon if folks could eat themselves, then most of us would?! Robert Plant, a terrific moment captured by Lori Spencer. It really is not just the covering of that letter but the whole body posture!!!

  • A – Day

    No not an anal day, mind you, erm, right. Today I started on the Azathiprione, haven’t a clue why these meds get given such bonkers titles!? They have started me on 50mg/day while still taking the 20mg/day of Prednisolone. I have to have my bloods checked weekly to keep an eye on the white cell count and bone marrow and something or another?

    Aza 1
    This is the first time I have ever seen any meds advice papers actually say it is used to treat Sarcoidosis amongst other lung diseases, really impressed with that.

    Aza 2
    Here we can view that the moderation in alcohol consumption needs to be adhered to? I have also been advised that the fatigue can be somewhat crippling while they find a ‘status quo’ with the meds.

  • Latest on the sarcoidosis

    Just spoke with Airedale Hospital, they have the latest results in but can not give them over the phone. I have to carry on with the current meds and dosages and they will be contacting me. It does make one worry although I know the next stages, as we get closer it gets more unnerving. In absolute honesty I would really love the sarcoid to fuck off and leave me alone.

  • Menu problem sorted.

    Me and technology eh! I had too many menus and so have had to slim line them down a little, but a lot more will be required, erm, and so a few changes to my site will allow some very interesting post’s, but do check the Vague page!!!

  • Site problems

    Two menus and the pages within have disappeared, some pages have also vanished, unsure why?

    It is still a positive know though…

  • Occupational health phone chat

    Work have arranged for an occupational health doctor to call me on Monday, its not a problem and they are very welcome to view my records, they might need at least a week to work them out as many of my medics struggle to work me out!?

    I must get on with some of the mega ideas for post’s on here, absolutely loads, its that current buzz word ‘procrastination’ that seems to arrive at mind, and so I best carry on not making plans but stick to the agenda, plans can fail, agendas just need working through…

  • The British Lung Foundation on Sarcoidosis

    If you have a few spare moments it would be very much appreciated if you could check out the following link? Please do click here and learn about my condition – Sarcoidosis.

  • How to eat a tin of encore shrimp and tuna cat food made easy

    Does this really need much explaining? Because they were on offer, I accidently ended up ordering and purchasing cat food! The price was buy five for the price of three. I thought it was a bargain buy, though I did think they were tins of shrimp. Is Encore cat food fit for human consumption…

  • Cat food fit for a human?

    Can’t believe I bought five tins of tuna and shrimp cat food, I honestly thought they were tins of shrimps.  Will give four tins to my neighbour, four tins you say? five are in the photo, well counted! Erm, I might try a tin and video it? urrggghhhh watch this space…
