Hello and welcome Hidden and Athena87 . I hope you both enjoy being part of the forum. Really good places to get to know people are on the What's Happening thread, the Daily Diary and of course by joining in with a weigh in day. The more you join in the more support you will get.

I look forward to seeing you both around the forum :)

It was a health scare that brought me here as well as I had a blood clot in the lungs back in December which had really frightened me so I decided to use it as an opportunity to make some positive lifestyle changes.

Best of luck to you!

Jeezo, hope your ok now. Thank you x

Yes I'm fine now. The physical symptoms disappeared quite quickly once I had started on treatment but it was the psychological side that was hard to deal with and I went to therapy which helped as well and got rid of the crap surgery I was with as they had treated me badly as I was shouted at by one of the doctors there which was most rude and unprofessional!

At the new surgery the doctor was nice that I saw and I am happy to see her again in a few weeks time.
