This is a long one, as it has been an eventful week, so buckle up! As per the usual format, let’s start with the health aspects. Following the MRI the previous Thursday, the psychological battle continued. The variable back pain continued, but had dissipated a little. I had arranged
As always, health aspects first, which currently are very dominant. The variable pain continued and is increasing and following the emotional end to the previous week, I managed to secure a GPs appointment on Tuesday morning. They ruled out sciatica and advised me to see about getting a scan or
Health-wise, this week was pretty much a repeat of the previous update, sorry to bore you regular readers. The key aspect at the moment is the numbness at the base of my back, which is increasingly affecting my legs and parts of my lower back. I have been trying different
For those of you who are regular readers, you will have noticed the absence of an update last week and the reason is simple; the past 2 weeks have been mainly ‘health focused’. The w/c 30th of September basically fell into two halves. The first half of that week
Health updates first and this week is another of mainly self-inflicted pain, but never intentional. The week started with more of the general tiredness and I considered altering the plans for the week, but did not in the end. I jarred the middle of my back during another site visit

Health perspectives first. The main issue this week was as expected, more intense lower back pain, due to the show, which had been on since the previous Friday, but finished off on the first day of this week. It is necessary to spend long periods of time on my feet,
For the health updates this week, nothing really out of the ordinary. The use of the supplements continues and this second attempt appears to be working better, with less pain. The muscular aspect is apparent, but I will carry on and see how this continues. I had my appointment to
Health aspects to start with and the week begun with me restarting the use of the supplements recommended by Dr Rahman during his last phone call. I tried them initially for around 3.5 weeks, then stopped, as I felt that they may be causing me issues. A month of
A busy week just closed, with the health impacts highlighted first. The cold which plagued me at the end of the previous week was mostly behind me, with the tiredness starting to dissipate on the Sunday. That set me up for a better start to the week, and allowed me
