Lovely Morning chit-chat August 2025

Hi, nothing this week but feeling tired for some reason. Could just be the weather, could be side-effects from immunotherapy, you know what the mind can do when you are feeling slightly under the weather - I'll settle with the hot conditions for now. Busy week Ellie - hope you got results!

The mind is a  terrible thing at times,  and always goes to the worst case scenarios' .fine 

Treatment  can causes lots of ones symptoms, when not feeling 100 per  cent.

Just relax and potter if you wish.

I have been busy in doors, nothing been done for  few days, as  been out   was nice to stay  in today. 

Hi any one see or heard from Lec original, getting a little concerned about him.

hope he is just taking a break. x

Hi Kate, that sounds like one wedding you'll never forget! Nor will anyone else who has read your post  

That's very interesting to me about you catching Addison's Disease because my dog (Conan) was diagnosed with Addison's Disease when he was about 4 months old. Since then he has had to have an injection every 6 to 8 weeks. The insurance company paid for the first one but after that it became a historic illness and they wouldn't pay for any more. 

When will you have treatment for that and how often?

Congratulations on your Wedding Anniversary Lucy, the weather is just right for a BBQ.

We had a celebration on Sunday when my niece had her first child a baby boy. My niece is 37yrs and thought it would never happen! Mum & baby got home on Tuesday, both doing well.

Never say never! It’s my 75th Birthday on Saturday and we were all amazed I made it to my 65th & 70th, but due to Lockdown that year, we didn’t really get much of a chance of celebrating! It is amazing I have made it here, well passed my sell by date!!

Congratulations Mr&Mrs Tvman, we have our 54th on 2nd October and all being well, hope to be in Salou!

Very best wishes for your birthday Annette, your positivity is an inspiration and always lifts me 

Lots of love and here’s to many more birthdays

Hi ellie 73  I haven’t heard anything from Lee, I will tag his name then he should get a notification to let him know we are thinking of him Lec 

Hi TVman

I've actually got Adrenal Insufficiency....my adrenal glands don't work now! You can read about it in my profile.

I take steroids twice a day, for ever. Unless I get a stomach bug, when I have to double my dose. it is a bit of a balancing act.

I did read about your dog when you mentioned it a while ago. I must admit, I was surprised that he only had an injection every 6 to 8 weeks, as humans have to dose 2 or 3 times a day! I did find it puzzling.

I made the decision not to have chemo, because the side effects (vomiting, diarrhoea) will make it very difficult for me to keep my steroid dose level. Obviously, I would like to be able to accept more treatment! That's why I'd like to see someone who specialises in Addison's, as my current endo doctor doesn't.

Phew! Sorry to bore everyone with so much detail!

Hi Kate, we all need to go into detail sometimes, I have to take steroids because of a digestive problem as a result of immunotherapy. It is far from pleasant and even further from boring. I hope you find a doctor who smooths your way to further treatment should you so wish.
