...never seem to find the time to write my livejournal.

However, as it's New Year's Eve I thought I'd at least try to get some stuff down. I'll separate it our into sections (mainly for my own convenience than anyone else's);

HEALTHWell, 10 months on and I'm still on the anti-depressants. I did think it may be a long term thing but my doctor is ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since I last posted here. Today I had a meeting with my doctor to review the first 6 months of my treatment for CFS. I’m still on the anti-depressants (100mg of Sertaline a day) and I’m starting a on a stress counselling program next week - we did discuss further counselling but this isn’t strictly necessary - but ( Read more... )

This is kind of a follow-on from my last post back in November last year and kind of a follow-on from a series of other posts regarding my CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Eight years ago this week we got Jekyll ( Read more... )

Well this little fan has finally stopped working. It was a tenner well spent but online I spotted an offer for 2 little desk fans for £5. Well that seemed like a bargain and I duly placed an ( Read more... )

I'm sure it won't come as a surprise to most people if I admit that I am not a genius. I have a reasonable IQ but I've never classified myself as clever, especially as I've had the priviledge/misfortune to meet people that really are effortlessly brilliant ( Read more... )

...and all who sail in her (or words to that effect).

It's the Diamond Jubilee weeken which means that the media is telling me that I must be partaking in a street party or waving a flag aimlessly or else I'm not being British. Now I'm not against the Monarchy, as I pointed out during last years Royal Wedding, but to me this Jubilee is most ( Read more... )
