Life is full of uncertainty ...you can't say from one moment to the next if your genetic make-up will let you down. I have inherited the Asthma which is rife on my dad's side of the family -my medication is not optional. Last year i had bronchitis twice, once it degenerated into Pneumonia with hospitalization. As i was picking up I went down with 'Flu again.
- what worries me is that we are heading towards a US style system where only the rich or those in work can afford treatment -for those with chronic illness there's a great burden -physically in the first place but economically also. We are supposed to part of a great modern civilisation...is this the beginning of a decline and then a fall i wonder?
