It sure is Andy, it effects some more than others I find. My Tracey for example, she can eat anything and not put an ounce of weight on. She will eat a whole pack of 5x cherry doughnuts in one day and not think twice about it, a whole large cherry pie in one sitting, a huge roast dinner and she still stays a petite size 8 go figure that one. lol

What a gift it is to have a fast metabolism...

Have you tried the bags of frozen peas on your testicles? ....... apologies to the ladies following the lounge.
Good evening Phil, glad to hear you still have a sense of humour, you must be feeling better. One day at a time seems to be the best way when allowing the body to recover, the secret is not to think too far ahead and keep positive.

That nerve block injection, I'm still in two minds on whether to go for it or not. Its not until end of June, and the fact they say the injection will only bring short-term relief, I somewhat find it may all be a waste of time.

I have a specialist to see at Southampton Hospital at the end of July, this is to talk about microsurgical cord denervation, this sounds a bit more promising, but somewhat scary if I do say so myself.

However! On another positive note Phil, I've been using/taking several spices with meals which seems to be helping the problem. This was thanks to a fellow sufferer over on the Men's Health forum, he advised to use turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic mixed with herbs. It seems to have taken the edge off things, it helps clean the blood, a bit like a detox. I guest these spices have their medical properties which seems to reduce inflammation, it gives me a break from having to live on pain medication all the time. The only downside is... if you take too much of this mix, you end up with an awful headache.

Its good to see you posting again Phil.

Morning Peeps.....Sun is shining out there......Today I'll be mainly indoors though

Lounge carpet to remove and then its painting the skirting boards, door frames and window sill.

New carpets to go in and then time to put the place on the market.

It will be a little sad after 17 years of living there but also exciting for the future

P.s. Watch out Norfolk, I'll be back tomorrow

Morning all - typical Bank Holiday here today:
  1. The sky is grey
  2. The temperature is on the cold side of cool
  3. My neighbour is about to attack yet another of his mate's cars with his rattle gun and lump hammer
No quiet day for us then

Good morning Wes, I joined a support group on Facebook for Shingles sufferers and this morning I read a post from a Mother who wrote about her 10 years old daughter being diagnosed with Shingles and how the skin rash is very angry. She is having Calpol which isn’t touching it.

The support group is not run by doctors/nurses, it is run by the sufferers, mostly women of all ages. The latest suggestion to the Mother was to apply Lanacaine over the rash. I have kept out of it, as it is something I can’t advise on. Let’s hope the cream works and gives her daughter an escape and relief from the angry pain and itching, bless her little heart.

Getting back to yourself and the pain. If the herbs work, then stick with that. Keep the injection and denervation as a last option?

Good morning Jeff, are you taking it easy? A tech question for you? My iPhone 6s Plus 64GB is taking ages to power up. The memory is 20 GB full. I bought it last summer in an auction for £115 and not had anything major go wrong with it until now. Any suggestions?
