Carl to be honest. . .

my whole body is falling to pieces! So that would not suprise me. On friday im due at the doctors for my chest xray results- to determine why i constantly have a chest infection and shortness of breath. My peak rate flow is poor. The doctor is convinced of asthma. Considerin i moaned of having to pay for a Blue inhaler on prescription i actually find it helps my chest. So maybe. My back of late is constantly in agony due to a problem that is like Sciatica but not. I forget exactly as one tends to switch off when the doctor starts talking of nerves and internal body parts. Im useless around stuff like that. That requires me keeping a stock of Diazepam in. Lethal stuff. When i take it, im out for days. I was going to physio to alleviate it but at £36 a go i cant afford the 2 sessions a week i need to keep it at bay. I face an 8 week long wait to get on the list with the Hospital physio books. Meanwhile im in pain. My job does not help but its a job and it pays. Well enough of my moaning i could be worse off. Goes off to find misplaced specs. . . How i managed this without em is beyond me lol.
 
No Need to Worry

Nick,

Of course you have a right tp complain – you’re only human. :( Without getting preachy, pain and suffering is a personal thing. It is affects you badly, it affects you badly.

I have asthma, but it is under control. Had pneumonia once – phew! Are you taking a preventive inhaler (brown one) as well?

Will say more later.

Carl
 
no brown inhaler ........ yet

thing that frightens me is that my Great Nan spent 20 years or more sucking on various inhalers just to live.
coughing up so much rubbish etc etc i dont want to spend my days like that.

but i dont know the facts about Asthma or any medical conditions for that matter, sometimes id rather just be ignorant to stuff.

what killed her was cigarettes. she quit in the late 70s after 50 years of suckin on the damn things. That effectively poisoned her lungs, she got asthma and by the time she quit it was too late.

ok so i dont smoke, cant stand those who do, and try my best to get my friends to stop.

If there are any UK members here that do smoke Please Stop I beg.
Breaks my heart to see anyone light up.
Lots of things break my heart but this is the Major one.
 
No need to worry about inhalers, Nick

Nick,

Honestly, mate, you won’t end up worse taking inhalers. They really will make you feel so much better. I have been on them for years, and I only take a few puffs of the brown one (brand name: Becotide) a day. They are a preventative – you wouldn’t know that I have asthma. And, to make it clear, my inhalers have not ‘given’ me ME or anything – inhalers are very, very safe and very, very rarely cause side-effects like tiredness.

Remember that it’s not the inhalers that make you worse – it’s the damage done by other factors, like smoking. :-( I really miss my Nan, who died in 2000 of lung cancer, which was caused by smoking. She was like a second Mum to me.

In fact, when down the town at about age 9, someone stopped us in the street and asked my Nan, “What would your son like?” She was so pleased! :-) She did look young for her age – she was 72 when she died – and nice thing is that she never got ‘old’, if you see what I mean. She even knew how to siphon the water out of her Zanussi when it stopped and needed servicing. The Zanussi engineer was so impressed and really pleased because it had saved him so much time and effort! Sounds a bit silly, but I probably like Zanussis because I always remember the ones she had – very quiet, excellent value, smooth machines that never have any trouble. I picked her last one, which was a Zanussi Jetsystem from the early 1990s. I cannot remember the model number – sorry. It outlived her and went to one of my cousins with her two children, so it went somewhere good. :-) I had Nan’s Kenwood Chef mixer instead – love ’em. :-) – which she had serviced before she died. It’s as good as new. :-)

Nick, I am around on MSN right now (and most nights) if you have access right now. My MSN name is in my profile – it’s my e-mail address. If you have trouble, ask Jon, Nick or Darren for it. I will have a word with you about asthma, etc., if you like to put your mind at rest.

Regards,

Carl
 
cant get bloody msn to work ffs

LOL. I tried and tried to set it up. But it really does not want to let me download whatever it is. Stupid grr!
 
Kenwood Chefs

No way! I have my paternal Nanas which is about 25 years old. Its in storage like most of my things but i cant wait to use it at christmas. Nothin like that planetary mixing action! Lol. I have 3 K beaters just for luck.
 
I do prefer the original Microsoft program (MSN/Windows Live Messenger), but Trillian might be able to get you going.

However, I do not think it stores your contacts, so you will have to re-enter them manuall if you switch to MSN/Windows Live Messenger.

Actually, Nick, try the link below first. Click on Windows Live Messenger (on the left). Do not worry that it is in beta (being tested). I have had it for ages with no problems. :-)

Kenwood Chefs :-)

My Nan’s is about as old as me, if not a little older (late 70s/early 80s). :-)

Brilliant machine. :-) Ours is in storage but comes out when needed because we’re running out of room in cupboards, but I know a fair bit about them (although not as much as I do washers! LOL).

After Nan died, I cleaned it up. But guess what… not a single bit of dirt or anything came off – it was *perfect*!
 
But you should be in bed, young man! ;-)

This time of night of for us ME sufferers and other insomniacs! ;-)
