    I'm with you on the back pain today @Strawberry1. Have you got a heated blanket or wheat bag that could help?

    Sorry to hear of your back pain @Rachel_Scope . I hope you have something that can help you . I don't put heat stuff on my back only my front if it's necessary. Some pain killers if it's very annoying would probably be my train of thought for that but I have to be very careful what I take. Some medications can cause me really bad side effects unfortunately . Make sure you look after yourself please don't over do stuff if you can avoid stuff. Take care 🙂 💕

    My stomach is really bubbly today. ( could be because I've had antibiotics) .

    Sorry to hear that @Strawberry1 I always find antibiotics really play havoc with my stomach. But I found probiotic yoghurts helped a fair bit.

    Sorry, I forgot to post the results of the colonoscopy. Mild signs of inflammation so the medication seems to be keeping it under reasonable control.

    I’ve had a scan on my liver last Sunday as the PSC is active according to the last blood tests. I hope that’s not getting worse as there is no treatment.

    Some good news I’ve now lost 46 kilos. Dieting eating 1000 calories a day. 22 Kilos to go. This has so far taken around 8 years.

    Oh wow, congratulations on the weight loss @krs1958 that's brilliant news! And I'm glad to hear the results were good too. 😊

    Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve come off the wagon quite a few times over the years but only by the odd meal. My blood sugars are lower but with my heart issues I can’t do exercise. I would be lying if I said it was easy but slow and steady is at least for me the best way. Both me and one of my dogs have now lost weight.

    I get a great boost buying new clothes in a smaller size. I hope to complete my weight loss by my 67th birthday next August.

    Oh bless em, they certainly look a lot happier!
    I'm glad things are slow and steady for you, that's how you win the race after all. Occasional slip ups are fine, you're only human after all and I don't see any issues in an occasional treat. As for the clothes, I know that is such a huge boost to confidence, so well done you! Here's to August 2025! ❤️
