Does increasing your diuretec effect more things? I never heard of it. And when will you hear about it?

I'm sorry gorgeous. I know it isn't what you wanted - but it is good that you're being looked after....

It does but only because it increases the effects of another health problem I have. I’ll get a letter in the post soon.

Ok, I may have understated my feelings. I’m bitterly disappointed and emotional. The dr did tell me a long time ago that it’s a lifelong condition for most people but, as I’d lost all the weight and I went into remission so quickly, I was sure I’d beaten it. Now, I’m probably going to have constant eye clinic and neurology input, the DVLA will never let me have a permanent driving licence and I could still be looking at a shunt in my future. And yes I know I’m catastrophising but it’s just how I’m feeling tonight

[Jaquaia]

That's completely understandable. Have you spoken to Si about it?

[Paula]

Yeah, but there’s not much he, or anyone, can say. It is what it is

[Suzi]

It is what it is, but you're allowed to be upset, angry, frustrated about it....

I don’t want to be, I want to be grown up and calm and measured about this. My asthmas been playing up since we didn’t have heating and I just wanted at least one part of my body to work without medical intervention .......

[Jaquaia]

Being grown up is overrated! Your hair grows ok, there's one. Your nails are fab, two. Heart ok? Kidneys? Spleen? Various assorted organs?

You're allowed to be disappointed and upset about this. I have no doubt that you being you, will pick yourself up and dust yourself down in a day or so. Until then, you're entitled to feel how you feel
