"I wanted to answer Ziffle - not in a bad way.
ZiffleRick, you wanted to know what I wanted from the forum.
Its simple - to talk, learn and at this point I can only take - I cannot give. I dont like only taking - which is why I drift into trying to give (or have done in the past).
You have no need to worry - I am not just here to enjoy myself. I dont enjoy it - I have had a year of grief from you and david.
I am nowhere near as symptomatic as you were in your picture around the time of your diagnosis. My symptoms are there - but I have not yet lost muscle mass (noticeably).
You say if you had not gone to get sorted out - you would be dead now - that situation is not mine. If I were to get any where near close to where you were - even slightly losing mass - I would KNOW IN MY HEAD I had to go - so effectively I would infact get treated before you did in terms of the disease progress.
I live by the things on here - my diet, my keeping an eye on myself, I weigh myself and write it down daily, I avoid foods, I have taken advice not to do things like dandelion, as of yesterday I am now thinking of dropping milk thistle because of a thread here, I have learned a lot about
the way the NHS treats people, the list is endless - you already know I quit drinking 100%.
I do not give medical advice - period - I simply dont. I rarely ask either - because it goes down badly. But I have a thousand questions - you dont know the half of it - but YOU stop me asking (and david) - effectively cutting off my supply of valuable information - just because I cant bring myself to go to the doctor.
I do not put people in danger - in the slightest.
I thought your post had some fair questions in it - I hope you see things from my perspective - even if you dont agree.
