Hi Rosie,
I see you have emigrated - to the moon. Is there anything up there that is edible or, at least, that one can eat in comfort?
Normal life - what's that? I find I am becoming quite insular, but that's OK as I'm pretty comfortable with my own company.
One thing I would like to be able to do is distinguish between whether I have a sore throat or not. It means that I am not able to tell whether I am starting a cold or not. Then, if I am I can't take a 'couple of paracetamol' as I am on 8 a day anyway - which I hate, but I think they are the last things my doctor will let me give up. Have given up the Oxcarbazapine as I ran out and not taking them didn't seem to make any difference, so why take them, though I do now have a supply - just in case the neuralgia starts that stabbing pain again. That has gone but everything is permanently pretty painful.
Life's a bitch - then it has puppies.
