UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

In addition to the KC poll

How many people have at one point or another sufferd atopic problems besides KC?

Please keep the other poll going as I would be interested to see the differnce between those who currently have other conditions and those who no longer have atopic conditions.

I would also like to distinguish between those that are under control (excluding KC). So for me my Asthma and Eczema are under control so I am not currently suffering from them, so I would answer NONE on the other poll, but TWO here.

The poll will be small, but it will perhaps help us as a group to decide what types of questions we would like to ask if we were to do a group wide survey via snail mail.

This is fun. I seem to be winning again. I don't suppose there is any prize?

Only the satisfaction you are unique

My asthma has been alternating on and off ever since I had my first attack. Doctors blamed it on the monsoon climate here. I used to be allergic to a blackish substance found in tiger prawns (and other shelled seafoods?), but outgrew it over the years. As for the ampicillin, I didn't want to test whether I outgrew it already or not so I just keep it on the books. Besides, it will look beautiful when I have to apply for National Service.

How many do you have Andrew? I've had/have asthma, ezcema and hayfever

Two

Oilseed blossom pollen and the preservative they put in eye drops. The first is a nuisance in May and the secomd is a nuisance all the time as I have to use preservative free eye drops

Andrew

Does childbirth without any pain count for anything here, 9 years to the day, in fact I think my lack of sleep tonight is down to having been dumped in a bath as I was being too noisy for the middle of the night (keeping wriggling in bed, as I could not get comfy)

Probably just me that is odd

Susan

did you say that yesterday was your child's birthday?

MANY HAPPY RETURNS!

Sorry to hear you had trouble sleeping.

Andrew

Hi Andrew

yes today (well what is left of it) is my little boys birthday and thankfully he is now fast asleep and tucked up in bed, after a very hectic day. He seemed to have a good time so that is all that matters really.

I am sure that tomorrow he will post a little reply, especially as you have all been so kind in commenting.

best wishes

Susan
