    Those pictures and the many others Geoff posted on facebook have been so enjoyable. It is so great to see everyone he has visited looking so good. It makes my heart happy to know that after what you all have been thru, you have bounced back to enjoy life, despite this unpredictable disease.

    Thanks for the well wishes. Don't want to detract from Geoff's thread, so I've replied to my original "Rituximab" thread about today's latest infusion.

    Just a quick update on my travels, now I am back home in the U.K Can I say here and now a huge thankyou to everyone who "followed" me on FB and provided the energy and love that carried me around for the 3 weeks. It was immense, and disturbing in equal measures as I hardly slept and yet had the energy to run up Everest!
    I have emailed Dr Jayne at Addenbrookes for an explanation and I see him this friday for hopefully an answer!! Watch this space!!

    I think just all the excitement kept you going and knowing all eyes were upon you !!!! Sometimes you get so tired that you can't sleep.......hopefully that is the explanation,but I'll will wait to hear what your Dr. says. Good luck with your visit and rest up now.

    Hi Geoff! I was just wondering this afternoon if you worry at all about catching viruses traveling by air? My husband doesn't want us to travel anywhere since I'm immune suppressed. Of course I can pick up a cold just as easily going to the grocery store probably. I hope you continue to fully live life and enjoy yourself! maybe someday I'll travel and visit all my new weggie friends.

    Hi Gab,

    I always wear a good quality mask when flying (No not the Mickey Mouse one!!) wash my hands constantly with a good antibacterial product and dont rub my eyes or put fingers in mouth!!
    One of my daily drugs is Co-Trimoxacole which gives me some protection.

    Hi Gab,

    My wife and I spent 24 days in Europe earlier this year. I took no special precautions other than frequent hand washing or using sanitizer. We did our best to stay rested and eat right.

    I take bactrim 3x weekly as prophylaxis for the kind of pneumonia immuno-suppressed people are susceptible to. I also made sure I was in good physical condition before the trip.
