I think you are so right with anticipating when a pill needs to be taken. I seem to be missing the early signs - but am getting much better now as I become more experienced!!

I went shopping one day and during the journey there my eyes were really playing up. I did the shopping hanging onto the trolley for dear life as the lights in the shop seemed to be affecting me really badly that day (that has been the only time its been like that!!) Then I took my pill when I travelled home. I now realise I should have taken the pill on the journey there!!!!

I find the morning times really good for me. I can get up at 8 and spend some time on the computer before taking my first dose at 9 (for convenience sake as I can usually take the others at 12 / 3 and 6 which usually lasts me until bedtime) That helps me with when the next pill is due.

I'm sure I will get better at reading the signals as time progresses .... and I am so grateful it is so mild for me when I read all your stories about your struggles.

Ooooh ... I've become an MG Senior!!!!!!!!!!!!

And me an MG Junior! Something is desperately wrong with this picture if I can rise through the ranks (or fall through the ranks, as the case may be in 18 days since diagnosis!!!

You'll soon be rising through the ranks Linda

Just what I always wanted! You gotta be kidding!!!!

I wasn't sure where to put this!!

I might be 'missing' for a few days as I've got a new computer and am trying to transfer my data from my old computer to my new one!! Easy!! Plug in firewire - job done! NOT!!!!!!! I'll be back

Well I'm back ... computer all up and running!!

I had four really good days when I was on the computer thinking I would be struggling to see but never did. Then the last couple of days it seems to have reverted to good periods and not so good again!!!

The one thing you can say about MG its how strange it is and impossible to predict what a day will be like

I fully agree. The only truly predictable thing about MG is its total unpredictability!

Hello everyone.

I'm back from Cornwall.

For the last three years we have been trying to sell our house and move to Cornwall to be closer to our son. We were thinking it would never happen when a viewer made an offer on our house which we accepted but it meant we had to get down to Cornwall to find a property for us. We had a new build lined up but when we phoned to say we could proceed, it had been sold!!! We have found a house in Bodmin so it is all proceeding along.

So .... during a very stressful time (and more to come) my MG has been so stable .... I'm amazed!!!!!! The unpredictability of it all is .... so unpredictable!!!!!

Just to let you know that although we haven't started packing the house up yet we are sorting out 47 years of accumulated stuff .... so I might not be around too much .... but I'll be back when we have moved (and in between when I have time!!!) and set up my broadband network - my very first important job!!

Good luck with the move, sorry for the delay!!

Try not to do too much, when we moved I found it so stressful/tiring it actually paralysed me and I had to sit and do nothing!!

Thanks Ragdoll.

We are trying to take it steadily and not do too much at a time ... me especially!!! Its got to be done so I've got to get through it best way I can ................. fingers crossed

Just to update you. We haven't moved yet. The husband of our sellers has been in hospital and had a couple of operations so that's put everything back until possibly the end of August!!! Our buyers, the man's dad died. Its still on track - hopefully - but quite delayed now. At least we've finished (almost!!!) the clearing out and there is a lull before the storm of packing and moving .... so we can relax a little .... that's the plan ... the Universe might have other ideas for us

A further update. The move is on definitely now - thank heavens - at the end of August.

I've managed to stay reasonably stable but once we had the contracts exchanged and the dates sorted - my eyes went crazy for about three / four days. I really struggled to stay on top of things .... well .... I don't think I did ... I just got through the days. Then its all balanced out again.

I've just completed CN1 to send to the DVLA .... and what an odd form to complete. I couldn't actually see a section to put the reason for completing that form in!!!!!!!
