I had a phone call from my brother today, he says he's been tested for something called, 'Haemochromatosis'. It's an Iron overload diorder- rather than an Iron defficiency.
This is a link if you want to know more - http://www.haemochromatosis.org.uk
I'm always feeling lethargic, have achy joints and have been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, having read pages on the above link, I feel releived to know I'm not 'Lazy'!
The other news is, that I gave up my little allotment before I could get it dug over/cleared, because I felt so tired and was spending a lot of time at work. Maybe if I have treatment, I might feel more energetic? LOL! I need something. Maybe better get the essential tests done soon!
On the jewellry making front, little happening there, just not had enough time to sit and do some creating.
My friend Graham lost his cat to old age and a kind of Anaemia particular to cats. Sopie is sadly missed in his life and as he gets on well with my cats, (I have four), I asked him if he would take Tessie and give her all the love and fuss that she craves. So sometime over the next week or so, she is going to live with him, she will love it there in his jungle of a garden!
Well that's all for now, thanks for stopping by.

I am so sorry to hear that you gave up your little allotment, lets hope that you get a proper diagnosis, and treatment so that you are up and running full steam ahead very soon
Best wishes

Thanks Lottie x
My mother and her brother both had Haemochromotosis. It made mom really tired. It apparently runs in families. Have you been tested for it too? It may be why you are so tired.
I hope you and your brother both will be well soon. It's awful that you had to give up your allotment.
Thanks for your comments. Sandie x
