Hmmm, not sure where to start! 

Those who know me well will know that I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes over Xmas 2006/2007. It's been tough accepting this even although I realise I could have much worse. It has been, in my case, a big learning curve of acceptance and denial. I spent a good few years being angry that my life depended on insulin injections (still do to be honest) and have struggled to come to terms with it although being thoroughly accepting that it is a disease I can manage, and I did, kinda.....

However in the past 3 months, I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis,  I have struggled to accept this on top of the Diabetes and have felt remarkably sorry for myself. I was in a bad place and apologise for the rather bitter, stupid and unintelligible posts I have since made, mostly pissed up ones I would assume/hope lol.

Anyway, in the last few weeks, I again, I hope, have come to my senses and accept that matters could be worse. Please bear with me if I post senseless comments at 'yon time' of the night but try and accept where my head is at, at that time, even if up a wine or vodka bottle x 

I think I made myself clear on how I feel about RS and that I have made a good few of my real/true life friends from this site. I don't hate how it is now and even see 'new' people as good friends too.... This site has introduced me to some of my BFF's lol.  

Basically, just ignore my bitching in future, I'm happy to see people contribute on here, whatever x 

Btw, it scares me how many posts new members have made compared to me

I usually ignore your voddy o'clock posts, but they seem better at 1.30 rather than 3.30.

Glad you're coming out of that bad place.

May be soppy but can I just send you a big hug best wishes and say you are definitely doing better than I would ... Not that that necessarily means much ... Oh and whisky is easier on your diabetes well that's what my brother says

My thoughts are with you and yours

let me know if i can help at all

Hi Ligs - Gald you are feeling better. Stay positive. We've all used this space to let off a bit of steam and emotion from time to time. That's what friends are for in't it.

Hi Lisa
Sorry to hear you are going through it. Being a pincushion with the diabetes is obviously not fun and it's understandable the MS on top just compounds things.

Hope treatment is as effective as it can be and I'm glad you're now getting your head around living with it - though clearly, we all wish you didn't have to.

All the best

Best wishes and hope that there is help the medical profession can give you to help. Kepp positive if you can.

Stop feeling sorry for yersel ya big jessie and get another bottle opened.

We never pay much attention to the shite you post anyway!



When/if you make it the land down under you can look me up and take your revenge for the above (I'll probably enjoy it anyway). Until then I'm being very brave

I was going to say something about a 'better place', and haunting you Dale.

All the best Ligs.
It's good to let of steam now and again.
Folks know these things happen, with the average age on here most of us have been heard.
Any posts are better than none, it lets everyone know people are still around and thinking of one another, and themselves.
We need to think of ourselves now and again.
Keep going and don't let the B******d get you down.

Sorry about the problems Ligs and glad to hear your are now in a better place.
You won't offend us!
If you do need to let off steam at any time please feel free to do it here, if it helps you.
I have been on the site for a some years now, during which time lots of people have had health and other major personal problems, some still are, and the people on here have always been great, better than any other site I have known.
There are some really great people on here, who will just be there to listen and in many cases will do anything they can.
Plus, if non proffessional help and advice from the ordinary members is not enough, we also have "Nursie" !!
Only joking Pete, you've been a great help to me and lots of others over the years, keep up the good work!

You are still the forum hottie in my eyes

Typo fixed for you Paddy

Mate, you've not seen her in the flesh (not all of it admittedly), but a fine filly if ever I clapped eyes on one.

Secretly hoping that makes amends for my prevous post
