    Hi Brian ,I was going to come and see you layout down at toytrak on sunday and say hello but I got busy helping Mr Reeve on his stand and the day just whizzed by ,anyway I was feeling like you say well over a year ago and drs just said you working to hard ,not drinking enough water etc ,cramps and tiredness got worse also had the numbness in arms and legs at times anyway about a week after I finished combining in August 2018 I went to get out of bed and I could not move my muscles was trembling and locking out like a cramp feeling it was agony could not see a Dr straight away as you have to make a appointment 2 weeks in advance(stupid system ) anyway I did see someone later that day my own dr was on leave so see a stand in one just said it would go away after a week but he is some steroids take 13mg a day with food and you will be ok after about 2hrs of taking first lot I was up and about with nothing wrong ,took tablets for the week and stopped a few days later it come back worse then before I was in my JCB loadall at the time and could not move to get out of it anyway the wife came up farm and found me helped me get out and straight down Drs ,my own Dr was back and see me straight away and said she thought I had P.M.R. which is POLYMYALGLA RHEAMATICE  and the steroids was the correct treatment but was not supposed to just stop taking them like I had been told so she put me straight back on them for the next 6 weeks I was struggling to work my mate that had helped me on odd days before was up farm everyday doing my work as I was buggered anyway I slowly felt better and over the next few months I was up hospital at least twice a month for tests ,nothing else was showing up so they presumed it was PMR so carried on with steroids but slowly reducing the dose rate I have had other tests done since as the steroids have a few nasty side effects ,only on 5mg now and I now it is still there as arms ache at times and I feel rough some days ,MS was mentioned to me at the start but they are certain it is PMR with me had another test only on wedesday of this week and got another coming up in next couple of weeks as they do wont to get me off the steroids completely and on to something else I don't know what but probably be on something for the rest of my time ,anyway keep your head up they have all sorts of treatment these days and now they are listening to you I am sure they will sort you out , I am ok on my muscles at moment but don't have the strength like I used to and I do get tired ,but I am ok and I am sure you will be as well ,Smithy        

    I am sorry to hear you are also having problems Smithy, so hope they can sort them out :)

    For me it is a great relief that they are finally taking notice and now trying to find out why I have gone from super fit, to barely able to fight a paper bag in less then 10 years, and I hope it is not MS I have but I have multiple problems on nearly all the symptom fields for testing, so just have to wait and see, and if I have then there are plenty of groups I can talk to and get help from, instead of the not knowing and getting worse that I have now :)

    As a side note steroids are a treatment for getting over the attacks of MS if you have the progressive form of it :)

    Good luck mate, my gaffer on the farm suffered like you for a few years, it wasn’t MS though, turned out to be Celiacs disease. Mind you, all the chemicals we have been handling for years probably has affected us all....sheep dip through to all the sprays. Often wondered if I would have death via Metasistox:D

    thank you guys :)

    my worst one is if they cant find a reason

    I am truly sorry. I have waited for test results myself, it is not a pretty thing. I hope the results are favorable for you and that perhaps some other diagnoses may be made. But it is best to have these tests and then make plans from there. I will be thinking of you, saying a prayer, and hoping for the best for you no matter the diagnosis.

    Thank you, I hope it might be something else but just want to know what is wrong :)

    Whats on your workbench???

    That is really an awesome model. A lot of detail. Once again, I must say I have never seen many of the kits you show there, here in a hobby shop. I suppose I could order one from the internet but to tell you the truth, I have built more than I can rememberer, ships and planes, but never a truck or a tractor. When I spray the hull of a ship I use those small spray cans of modeling paint. Now I mostly just buy a diecast model. Not too interested in the glue and the paint anymore after building them for about 64 years. But I surely enjoy looking at your tractor and truck models here. I have about three ships still around the house collecting dust that I have built. I have either thrown out or given away countless ones. 

    Thank you :)

    its just a standard 1/14th Tamiya bolt together kit, with ball races, upgrade motor and MFC-03 European light and sound kit added
