  1. The drugs Im on for the arthritis luckily work on the lupus but it took a good few years before the right cocktail was found,Im on biological drugs by injection which I do once a fortnight and I had to go through the nice guidelines to qualify for them,Im very fortunate that at the moment they are working well.

    Chulla I had a good look at the boxes its ok you can swallow them.

     

  2. Good god the size of em if they work keep swallowing em me old duck.

    So pleased about the good news Carni.

    I myself have Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis, they are diseases of the auto-immune system usually when you have one you are more likely to get another unfortunately because of the damage the arthritis caused I now have Bronchectasis which is a lung disease,my treatment is working and I am very well at the moment ,god bless the nhs.

  3. When I lived in Kirkstead terrace under the back window of one of the houses was what we kids called a stage it was in fact a bricked up air raid shelter and when we moved high up the street to a three storey house the cellar had been re-enforced and was also used as a shelter it got me wondering how many shelters would there have been of this type and how many people would they have had in them.

  4. This forum continues to entertain me Im very often looking back on whats gone before ,its a mine of info,if you google search anything bout Nottm you can guarantee the forum will pop up with the answer.

    Life and technology doesn't stand still we all get used to it in the end.

  5. 3 years ago hubby and I went on a mini cruise for his 70th we went on a shore trip to visit Ypes ,the Menim Gate and Tyne Cot cemetery and while in the cemetery we noticed the headstone of a young jewish man (it had the stones on top) He was just 21 when killed ,I took a photo and when we got home I started to trace him (on ancestry ) as there is quite a lot of info on the headstone so it wasn't too difficult,he and his family were tailors from London anyway to cut a long story short I have been in contact (through ancestry ) with his 3x great nephews wife they were moved to see the photo of his headstone.Hubby and I are going on a coach trip in May next year we will be visiting Tyne Cot again and they have asked us to put a stone on from them,I have a stone that I picked up from the Mall in Washington DC so I thought it appropriate that I use that.

    I wear my little ceramic poppy all year round I brought it in Ypes,the British Legion poppy shop on-line sell some really nice things too.
