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

  • Amazing year since July 2010…

    Healthwise; brain scan OK and showing it still works, heart scan shows some weakness in the rightside but that its looking strong with no fats – will be ok, skin is showing hairs growing again – monkey soon, eyes are stable with the problems no worse at all – Bowie eyes, coughing is present but not anywhere near as bad, dental work required – by Bev and hospital, your a good laugh Bev and assitant!
    All in all im thankful I seem to be recovering.  please click on the link and view, if you see someone like this it needs mentioning it could be serious and not mumps:

    I have frustrations that ‘ill’ folks certainly are sterio-typed with the fakes. Thanking myself of the time iv had alone, it works – for the right reasons and to continued progression!

  • Property ladder and snakes?

    As home ownership declines  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14708841  so much is getting mentioned about first time buyers and the struggle to get on the property ladder.  The snake side of it always seems to get skipped over; with divorces forever increasing the male usually looses his home, if he does manage to buy another the chances are he will struggle to keep up with mortgage and bizarre CSA maintenance payments, hence loss of home, cheap bedsit follows, even less contact with children, charities help as the government doesn’t – all sad facts that very few try take on…

  • Scan was;

    Hugely therapeutic loving the sounds, they allow way too much thinking to go on. Ripped my arm to bits getting into the vein – again! this time I have got a photo but cant post it, will asap.  To bond, its just not happened how I would have loved it to have, well wrote post in the future explaining, my fault I reckon.

  • Brain scan tomorrow, 26th Aug…

    So, will they will find something and treat it, find something and not know how to treat it, not find something and not know?  Either way its still a worry.  Its going to be a long night, strange dreams due, in fact soon I might do a seven day diary of my dreams, oh dear!!!

  • And the noisy neighbour starts it all again.

    After calling round, writing them a letter, meeting, it sort of got better, back with a vengeance are they, no they haven’t been anywhere but that sub-woofer needs a hammer put though it! I will write them another letter, not as polite as last time, very firm and explaining a letter after that goes to the environment health noise department, why do those ‘lot’ need to have a booming sub-woofer, argghhh!

  • Would you sell up to support the world…

    Recently Its been put to me about this world ownership ‘thing.’ I asked what is the meaning by that? Is it those who say the world should be equal, is it so very simple for me to say – go on then, sell up and share… I doubt  that you ‘lot’ who ask this wouldn’t share all is very true?  Many other folks are in the same valley as me, content and learning new directions, I love it, ‘theorists,’ stop putting a conspiracy to everything that you think happens, have a good talk to yourselves, enjoy what you have and get on with it, though the chats are still interesting!!!

  • Sarcoidosis and the benefits system.

    Benefits messing with me again, do I rip a lung out and slap it on the desk? Yeah, im walking hard, trying to ride my bike, trying to get back into music, im trying to take on my illness to get on with life.  If I’m trying to get on and progress in life best possible then would it not be in the best interests of the Employment and Support allowance to support me?  The benefits system in the UK is a disgrace…

  • How should the ‘Absent’ parent behave?

    Well, hmmm, difficult one here, but really it is simple?  I’m sure with true input yes it could be better, much better than it is.  Its been mentioned by folks that absent (Non resident parent)  ‘dads’ should earn to see/view/meet ones own child, scary stuff but many believe that this is a way forward.  Children are not a commodity, but it seems those who work with children yet don’t have ones own say they know best, hmmm again…

  • UK riots and stuff.

    And so, these riots, too many of the minority post about the police being heavy handed, hmmm… OK, I have seen one vid so far and maybe a little heavy handed? but far more show the thugs, looters, criminals, and such, the student beaten by thugs then again beaten by friendly thugs, argghhh, beyond me how these ‘do gooders’ protect those that need locking up for a good time, discus at your pleasures!!!

  • Right, a regular ‘Blog’ from now on…

    Well, after 14 months of not being able to work, today I have my employment termination interview/meeting with my employers, so the last four week will have been; home repossession, bankruptcy, job gone, and a stupid illness.  Hey, its all part of the new approaching life direction, get all my tests and scans out of the way and progress…
