Yes, light sensitivity occaisionally is a problem for me, like Gareth I've found that if I make sure I drink a lot (proper water not the other kind :) ) I find it's happening less. But occasionally there's nothing that stops it or touches the pain - only tried over the counter pain killers though .....

I suppose that since I've been to Dr Who conventions, Star Wars marathons (film and video/dvd) and Red Dwarf used to be filmed up here and so sought out the actors in various guises (Rob Llewelyn/Kryton is an excellent author and commedian) that makes me an addict, oh and the hubby's a trekky who sp...

Probably don't need to tell you but remember to tell them about yer lens and graft when they when they whip out your GB... You have had it rough recently, hope all goes well for you and they slice and dice yer innards!! soon, I thought most GB's were done under keyhole these days anyway, it's diffic...

There was a chap at the 2005 Conference that was extoling the virtues of Reflexology. Any chance of that conference DVD being available soon?

Right now I've gone public with my (three o clock in the morning when I couldn't sleep) idea of making a huge model of the eye. I was thinking about a blow up one, this started with a hairdryer (one of those that are a hood) with the optic nerve being the thing that connects with the drier to the ho...
