Hello, cold again here in London and I am sitting on my old settee watching the King and I with Jodie Foster. Not her best role. I've got a scarf wrapped around my head like an Easter egg due to the toothache which has plagued me for months. Back and forth to the dentist and no date yet for my...

Hello, I've been reading your diet sheet for Crohn's Disease and it seems like a "healthy, high fibre, meat eating, wheat eating" diet. The sort of diet a GP would recommend. In my experience, eating too much fibre can cause bloating, stomach ache and diarrohea. Peeling and cooking vegetables...

Hello, storm Bella which hit Britain has passed and this morning, it's frosty in South London. Freezing cold and I put out bread for the sparrows and blue tits that are nesting under the eaves. My cat watches them from the window ledge. It could be a Christmas card if my street wasn't full of...

Hello, milk is not so good for poor cows and their calves though. Plugged in to machinery every day, their babies removed and bred for meat. What about the hormone content of milk and it's effects on the human body ? Milk is advertised in poor areas along with coke which rots your teeth and fast...

Hello, what nice sensible advice.

Hello, as you get older, you may find you develop hearing loss and forgetfulness. After all, now you're grey, you must be batty according to some so the fun begins. Hello, I've come to talk to you about giving to the pygmies of Greenland, where do you keep your antique furniture ? and...

Hello, sorry to hear about your brother. When you get to be over fifty five, doctors keep talking about cancer, it's the same for women and they can't wait to do all sorts of procedures. Usually, it's just a common garden bug that can be treated with a liquid diet like chicken soup, antibiotics...

Parents, we're stuck with them. I have nerve damage too which feels like pins and needles in my feet and lower leg. Sciatica ? Humbug. Chronic lower back pain so some days I have to sit at my sink to do the dishes and leave dust balls under the furniture. Most annoying if you like to keep your...

Hello, My birthday is there 25th of December so we're both Capricorns. You're much stronger than you think due to your birth sign. If you are unsure about your surgery, ask to speak to the surgeon beforehand again and talk it through. Ask questions and make sure you feel in control. I don't...

My favourite tunes for this December. "I'm so lonesome and blue..." Elvis "We can't be social, we're on the Social". " I'm singing in the rain ". " Can't afford a turkey, just sprouts only". Happy Christmas !

Hello, I'm not medically qualified to give you advice but some of of your symptoms I can relate to. If you have breathing problems, do you have poor air quality where you live or are you exposed to cigarette smoke ? I have had asthma, for sure since 2000 and you may need to get inhalers to stop...

Hello, fellow sufferers. Browsing Amazon online for Christmas offers. Not much there and prices can shoot up overnight. Bought two Petface cat bowls on offer. Not very exciting. The vets are only dealing with emergencies so pet owners must be having to cope with ailments by themselves. My old...

Hello. In lockdown some people can't sleep. Some sleep too much. I am one who is beginning to resemble the lot in "Fight Club". Never quite awake, everything is muted or a copy of a copy. The reason is vivid dreams and nightmares in technicolour. Last night, people were crowding in on me with no...

Hello, I grew up skying in the Italian Alps and although not very good, thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to go to dry ski slopes in London for fun. My family are super fit and love to go skiing. I am not much older but my stamina and balance are rubbish these days and I as I have asthma, I feel...

Hello, if you "suffer with your nerves" there are things you should do. Always cross the road at a pedestrian crossing. Avoid large noisy supermarkets full of screaming kids and endless queues. Get a pet that matches your temperament and budget. Goldfish are nice and quiet. Move away from the...

Hello, it's raining again here in London like someone turned on the tap. The cost of water keeps rising so I should be going hippy and washing my hair in rain water. Mild and no white Christmas this year. The government is now introducing zone 4 and telling people to behave as if they have...

Hello, we're a week away from Christmas and I will be spending it alone with my cats. What a cliche. It's a Covid year so I'm not alone. The TV programming in the UK is all about food and beef, pork, lamb, duck and turkey are cooked, served and eaten to everyone's delight. I cringe at the...

Do you find your health conditions affect how attractive you feel ?

Hello and welcome. I'm new too but I know what it feels to be treated like a little old lady, twenty years too soon. I have bowel problems, chronic lower back pain, stiff joints, night sweats, dry eyes,acid reflux and no energy most days. I've piled on weight, have mouth ulcers and mild...

Hello, watching the bowl can have surprises. My poo is bright yellow these days. Should I be concerned ?
