Hi,

Thought some of you might be interested in this new BBC programme.

bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/progi...

I think many of us would have appreciated a diagnosis detective working on our cases. I had to be my own detective.

Yes wouldnt it be nice to be 'taken in hand' I'm presently trying g to work out a way to get through another winter. I wrongly hoped my light sensitivity would have improved by now. So as you say still being my own detective . Darker earlier now but it's when it gets dark around 4pm planning and cooking and eating was very difficult last year . The year before I can hardly remember.

Hope you are well as can be.

Looking forward to watching it when it's available for binging. I used to love House until it got to be too much of a Soap.

It was only because I watched House that I knew what sarcoidosis was when I was finally diagnosed!😄 I’d previously joked that I felt like an episode of House and maybe my symptoms were connected.😏 Found out about the B12 deficiency as part of the other investigations.

I've been watching House recently.

Interesting cause of B12 deficiency in series 3 episode 14. Won't give away plot spoilers.

My family got fed up with me shouting out "B12 deficiency can cause that" when watching episodes.

Yes I saw this last night- and it was really interesting. Glad they are also showing the effects of chronic conditions on other family members and quality of daily life.

Your detective work has also helped countless people here, Sleepybunny .

I hope you realise what a difference you are making !
