I decided that I ought to put the posts from this blog into some sort of order for no other reason than I felt my descendants might like to cure their insomnia!
It's been quite a journey - I am around 10 months in and now in 2007 at operation 3 and following the first immunotheraphy sessions. Losing my job and then getting a pre-diabetes warning after following "government guidelines" was a huge shock to add to the others. In fact as I see it all play out and things less well remembered surface. I really wished that I knew then what I know now. Good old hindsight of course.
The advice to load up on carbs and fruit and vegetables almost gave me Type 2 Diabetes. FFS!! There was me worrying about salt intake and I should have been worried about fruit, fruit juice and carbs in all their disguises.
It is surprisingly (or not) a little upsetting to see the very ill me wrestling with diet, health, treatment, unemployment and so on. And it got worse in many ways before it got better.
BUT, it did get better and whilst it took 15+ years - I made it and came out the other end. At one time it looked as if I was going to be a yearly checkup but the science has moved on and so I was discharged a few years ago.
Bringing it all back I am not sure if I am actually enjoying the relived experience.
