Reply | Lacking a bit of motivation today
at 17:05 11 Feb 2025
Thank you! At first I was very overwhelmed and in a very dark place, then a switch flicked in my head that made me realise I need to enjoy every moment as I have no idea what the future holds! Could be fine as many people are, or I could become very ill, so it's in my hands to make the most of what I have. I'm still very priveliged compared to many people in the world so I can't complain really. |

Town are in the Premier league.
After a rough year of Ex wife severe illness, my self being diagnosed with a chronic illness causing a lot of pain at times, losing my job, now going through a divorce and many other things, looking forward to hopefully not letting the illness hold me back and ticking off some bucket list things which I should have done a long time ago.

Be careful, BA and JAL codeshare, so you may end up on BA anyway! |

This time of year and November is great for flights.
I mostly go to the Far East these days but recently I've seen the following:
Seoul Return - £340.00
Tokyo Return - £390.00
HK Return - £296.00
It seems the good flights are usually 4-8 weeks in advance recently.
Going to China soon for 2 weeks including hotels and direct flights for under £600.
All through Sky Scanner. [Post edited 18 Oct 2024 14:07]

I just had a full body MRI to check for this, but it's affecting my wrist rather than my back so they're looking at all options. Potentially PsA.
Sorry to hear you've been suffering with it, how have you been doing? |

I've been diagnosed with similar, potentially the same at the grand old age of 31. Although they're calling mine inflammatory arthritis as my Rheumatoid Factor was negative.
They will likely start you off with Methotrexate which is a mild chemotherapy drug to take once per week via tablets. This must be supplemented with Folic acid as it reduces the side effect of the medication.
I had to stop as it was affecting my liver but they're now going to try me on it again. Fortunately other than a flare (which I believe was triggered by covid), mine has been relatively mild. However, I've long had tiredness which I believe may be related to this.
Either way, the NHS have been fantastic and I'm sure they will keep working to reduce or even remove your symptoms correctly. I didn't realise that there were sufferers of this on TWTD. Good to know there's many of us that can speak to each other about these things. Wish you the best luck in finding something to help you. There's so many medications these days to treat it, it's about finding the right one for you.
It's been quite the year for me!
This diagnosis
divorce
now redundancy
Ahh life! |

The thing is, depending on when you go, that's not even a that great deal.
An example arranging by self -
11th November - 15th November - £32 flights with Wizz Air
MEININGER Budapest Great Market Hall rated excellent - 8.6/10 - £157 4 nights. Central location.
works out at £111 per person |

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Firefox. It's quite privacy focused which can cause issues on some sites I think. If it works with a different browser, that's your answer. |

Deleting Facebook was a huge step for me! Now I'm still addicted to my phone but more for language learning so I feel like It's not completely wasted. |

What did you expect to happen? The Tories have completely destroyed this country. It's going to take many years to clean up the mess that they created. |

Thread | Flight issue - sorry TWTD
at 15:28 4 Jul 2024
Hi all,
Sorry I need your wealth of knowledge again please.
My flight to China has been delayed on the first leg, meaning I will miss the connection.
The next connection is not for another 2 days, meaning I will miss my hotel booking and also pre-planned excursions.
Etihad are not being helpful and my insurance say I must get a refund from the carrier and they can't help me.
I wonder if anyone knows if I am entitled to a full refund in this scenario please? I know they will try and wiggle out of it so hoping to have some ammunition.
I am trying to push for a flight the night before but seems to be sold out their side.
This trip is turning out to be a nightmare.
Thanks for any help. |

Well up for this. Since my auto-immune diagnosis, I've lost 10kg but need to lose another 15-20kg ideally and would be great motivation. |
