Moog The Minging
I have a patch of wet eczema on my neck and it dont ‘arf pong – and it itches like buggery too.
I had a blood test last week and I have had a reaction to the bit where I was shaved. So I am currently on some steroids and anti biotic tablets to sort it out.
The good news is my levels of thyroid gubbins is good so the soloxine is working and my meds don’t need altering.

I have started on the Thyroid tablets today (Soloxine 0.8 mg. for anyone interested). These will help my thyroid which at the moment is working overtime to try to get stuff into my system. The dose will need to be altered every now and then until they find the right levels.
These are in addition to the Metacam and joint supplements I am on. Hopefully these will also help me to be more active which will be great as there is a huge garden here to explore and Benny and Josie have mentioned that there are wild rabbits that are not behind stupid metal stuff. It may be a while though before I can chase them… unless they don’t mind hanging about a bit for me to catch up.
