Right after a chat with a person online (thank you) I have decided to go public with what is happening in the last year.....
over the past year/18 months my health has steadily gotten worst and worse... Basically what has happened is that i have now found out....a very low white cell count.....chronic Neutropenia, what this is doing is it means that i have trouble fighting virus's.. it is also having the lovely effect that it is shutting down my immune system... and is also shutting down the circulation system...... this mean my body was putting out the smell (odor) that i was not aware off......
i am going to put up a post on both sites now as I am just sick of the whispers, so please stop them now.......that is why i have taken a lot of time out... and i haven't gone to meets, I have good days when i am right as rein and vibrant... i have bad days where i have no energy and i don't want to move.........
I am now seeing an immunologists and dermatologists........ it is an ongoing issue........I would appriate your support at this time, I suppose this is where i find out where my true friends are........

Best of luck Fabio - I hope you get well soon.
Sean, you were one of the first people to ever interact with us when we first joined this site as Katie & John, through all our trials and tribulations you were always there with spot on advice, tea crumpets and sympathy.
If there is anything we can do, just holler mate.
long term illness can be so debilitating, trust me, I know, and it has many more far reaching negatives than people imagine, i.e. financial, work, lifestyle, inner happiness etc.
just know that there are real people on this site who genuinely care mate, at this time all I can say is that I hope things turn the corner soon for you.
Your a fighter and major respect for trying to remain the top bloke you are despite your troubles, and thank you for sharing this as it does explain a few things to those like us who have missed your input, advice and generally good humoured banter.
take care of yourself mate

Caron (by proxy) and Pete
all the breast

Gutted to hear this matey but being honest I didn't hear the whispers either.. sounds awful but knowing how things are medically today I bet they will have it sorted double time quick....
Best wishes from us and hoping you a speedy recovery.

Hey Sean.
I can't offer any nursing support (sounds like you've got that covered anyway :twisted: ) so all I'll say is get well soon from me and the Mrs.
all the best
and get well soon

Hey big guy - not much sign of you being under the weather in the chatrooms - slap, slap, slap LOL. Get well soon.
Sean,
We've never met but somehow I feel I know you 'cos you wear yer heart on your sleeve and you're a great guy. Not much I can say that'll help you in your predicament except to say that my and Mrs TE's thoughts are with you - hope you recover soon.
Hi,
Sorry to hear the news and I have to say well done to be brave and speak about it. I hope its only an infection that can be more easily cleared up? Do you know the cause of it yet?
At least they have identified the problem and despite everything you might read about the NHS you are in good hands.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
best wishes,
Shay
