I live with a non-functioning pituitary (since an operation in 2005 to remove a tumour causing Cushings disease; http://csrf.net/) - this blog describes my fight to get more action from the doctors and my own personal experiences in daily life, similar to that of Bridget Jones Ha!
About Me
- Lottie4979
- I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

Lunch... it's a quandry
Generally, I'm not keen on lunchtime. Breakfast is fine, usually an Oats so simple porridge (apple,cranberry and raisen is the best one, avoid raspberry one..way too sweet) or Branflakes both of which I throw in extra raisens or goji berries if I remember. Lunch however always causes me a quandry... what to have for lunch? I guess my issue is I'm not fond of the common sandwich. I usually find them quite boring and for some reason I especially don't like the sandwiches I make myself! However today is a good day, I had sudden inspiration and took my two peices of bread, buttered them (I can't be doing with this no butter or marg nonsense) and inside put chunks of blue cheese with rocket and spinach leaves. It totally works! I am actually enjoying a sandwich I have made myself. My second best option is a boiled egg with toast. You can't beat a delicious dippy egg as my neice agrees. Oh and a good tip for keeping bought rocket and spinach leaves fresh is don't leave them in the plastic bag. Tip them into a ceramic bowl and cover tightly with cling film. It lasts much longer, stays fresh and avoids the grim gooey bits you get at the bottom of the bag when it starts to go off. Not sure what we having for dinner tonight, Boyf. reckons he will cobble something together... better not be beans on toast.
