Although not in the Speed Series I enjoyed this so much last year that I've entered again.

Is anyone else going?

That's a shame Richard as I know how much you enjoy the circuit, hope you feel better soon, David

Polymyalgia, taking high dose of steroids so can't risk the high speeds. Thanks for your good wishes.

Hope it improves soon Richard.  Make sure your docs keep an eye on your haemoglobin levels. I was given too much testosterone and ended up with polycythemia. Been ill for almost 2 years as a result of my GPs mistakes! I discovered that basically GPs don't know much about this type of thing and yet some are prepared to give you (bad) advice about it. Luckily I did my research and told my doctor he was wrong and put a stop to being made even more ill. Good luck!

Going to see the specialist this pm, no mention made of testosterone so far. If I had some would my times improve?! Apparently I'm a bit anaemic so which pay attention to this. One has to be one's own doctor these days to a certain extent. At least the steroids have given me full use of my legs again.

Hope it went well Richard

Thanks for your concern. The NHS was immaculate, all sorts of tests, diagnosis confirmed, continue to take the tablets and should be OK. But not sure when I'll next be out in the Westfield. Strictly speaking I have Giant cell arteritis.

Best wishes for an improvement, hope you can get back in the car soon.
