I put diesel in my car last week... but only after it bleated "5 miles left" Normally I only stick £20 in but for some reason my subconscious said "£30 is also a nice round number". Trust your gut instinct!

Medical professionals giving different contradictory information on what's wrong with you!

Respiratory says I don't have pulmonary fibrosis, but cardiology says I have the very early satges of it, even better cardiology then points out that one of the meds I'm on, Amiodarone, can cause pulmonary fibrosis ... would you like to change to a different medication

I've requested all my medical records from September 2025 upto February 2026 ... just to see what is actually wrong with me (well apart from the obvious).

The cream* which the dermatologist gave me effectively burns away the "mild level" BCC I acquired whilst in Australia when I got sunburn.

*The dermatologist-approved equivalent of a skin peel for which rich women pay a fortune to look younger.

This is the early treatment regime that the dermatologist gave me in the expectation that it will burn away the lesion and save me from having to have major-level surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery.

But the area where I have to apply it is very close to my eye, and I have to make sure it includes a 1mm margin.
... so even though I applied it C.A.R.E.F.U.L.L.Y. with a cotton bud ... since I started applying it, I can feel that the cream is finding its way into my eye, probably via my wrinkles

So my gears are vaguely ground with the anxiety that maybe it will also burn away layers of my eyeball
But am also hoping if that's the case it might get rid of the not-yet-serious cataract
