Save my eyesight! Q I suddenly couldn’t see properly out of one eye. The hospital diagnosed a vein clot, now I’m terrified I’ll go blind. Marietta, Harpenden A Sounds like a retinal vein occlusion, where a clot blocks a vein in the light-sensitive retina at the back of your eye. A big clot can cause total blindness, but fortunately smaller clots, which only affect part of your eye, are more common. A doctor can usually make the diagnosis by looking into your eye to check for damage caused by blood and fluid leaking from the blocked vein. A small blockage should recover by itself and doesn’t usually need any treatment, though larger clots can leave permanent damage and might need laser therapy or injections into your eye. The clot could…

Keeping my eyes peeled for my cousin, I waved my arms in the air and cheered at the TV when I saw her. It was April 2018 and I was watching her run the London Marathon. Despite having completed long-distance races in the past myself, I’d never ticked off the London Marathon from my list.

It was as if a light bulb had clicked on in my brain When it came to my social life, career, everything…I’d been feeling distracted. Every day, I felt as if I was just existing, not enjoying life.

With her sun-kissed skin that made her strawberry-blonde hair shine and her blue eyes sparkle, Ashlee Brown was your ‘typical Aussie girl’. She loved the beach, singing, dancing and, like most teenagers, couldn’t wait to spread her wings. By the time she was 18, she was taking regular trips to Melbourne. That’s where she met Mohamed Naddaf. And, soon, she brought him back to Victoria to meet her mother Siobhan. ‘This is Macca,’ she’d introduced her new man. Siobhan believed he was a nice, polite young man and could see her daughter was clearly happy. But, sadly, after the first meeting, Siobhan barely heard from Ashlee again. There was only one other phone call in 2011. Ashlee, then 20, was asking for her mother’s blessing. ‘Mum, I need your blessing…

Closing my eyes, I listened to the sound of the plane engine growling. Slowly, we started to lift off the ground. ‘You OK back there?’ my dad David, then 50, called out, as he steered the plane up into the clouds. ‘All good,’ my mum Tara, then 50, and my brother Ryan, then 18, chorused. It was July 2019 and ever since I could remember, my dad had owned a light plane. I always loved trips in Dad’s cosy six-seater plane for holidays or weekends away to visit family. This time, we were on our way to pick up my sister Julia, then 17, from a summer camp. As we glided through the clouds, I relaxed in my seat. Today, I was flying high for more reasons than one. I’d…

Finally reaching the top step, I paused to catch my breath. ‘You OK?’ a colleague asked. ‘I’m fine, but I guess pregnancy and climbing three flights of stairs don’t mix,’ I joked. It was September 2017 and I was eight months pregnant. I thought that explained the breathlessness. It didn’t worry me. Camilla arrived by Caesarean in October and weighed a healthy 7lb 11oz. My husband Piers, then 31, and I were besotted with her. And Harriet, 2, was thrilled to be a big sister at last. I cycled the race from the comfort of my kitchen! But, while things seemed perfect, I’d developed a nasty cough. Doctors prescribed me antibiotics, reasoned I had a chest infection. Only then, I started coughing up pink phlegm. When I saw my GP…

Find yourself sitting down to eat after 8pm? According to new research**, you could be seriously hindering your weight-loss goals, with findings showing that eating late at night can put you at an increased risk of being overweight, as your body is less able to process nutrients and glucose. As a result, we burn 10% less fat overnight if we eat at 10pm, compared to having an evening meal at 6pm. The study observed 10 healthy men and women and found that blood sugar was higher and the amount of fat burned was lower, if a person ate dinner one hour before bed. Try to get into a routine of eating earlier in the evening, or prepare meals ahead for the week, to avoid late meals. surprising STAT 42% According…

Hearing my mobile ringing, I reluctantly rolled over in bed. ‘Hi, it’s Mum, I didn’t wake you, did I?’ came my mum’s voice. ‘No, course not,’ I fibbed, while stifling a yawn. It was a Sunday, February 2018, and I’d been hoping for a lazy morning in bed. Fat chance of that now. As Mum and I spoke about our plans for the day, my husband Oliver, then 37, began to stir. And soon enough, he was wide awake. Seemingly adamant to get my attention, he kept poking at my breasts. ‘Get off, you!’ I mouthed, playfully pushing him away. But his hands kept wandering back. ‘What’s that?’ Oliver asked me, suddenly serious. Looking down to where he was pointing, I gave him a confused look. ‘That lump, what is…

Embarrassed by my girlfriend Q I’m seeing someone who’s kind, funny, clever and generous. We have great chemistry and I feel this could go somewhere. Thing is, she’s not that attractive. I’m nothing special myself, but worry my family and friends will judge her looks, rather than personality. To make things worse, she laughs loudly and snorts, and people stare. I know my mum will say I can do better, but I really like her. I’m dreading introducing her to people. Jamie, 37 A What ever happened to beauty being in the eye of the beholder? This lady sounds like a catch and makes you happy. Are the women in your family all supermodels?! You love her, she’s special – introduce her proudly. If you can’t, then you don’t deserve…
