Blog about a blog


It’s now fast (feels like anyway) approaching autumn 2017 and I have achieved a blogging target! May not seem like a massive target to some, but 10+k views make me happy and it’s down to you guys – humongous (recently heard the word!) thanks!

The subject title - “Blog about a blog” - Another confusing one? Would you expect anything else! I know there are other clearer ones… As I have no clear ‘event’ or similar to rattle on about, I will touch on some of my passions and their blog subject intent.

Looking at the About Me tab on my page, we have ‘Sport’ up top. More focused on Newcastle United Football Club (NUFC) really, and my early claim that “This will be an ongoing blog!”. Yet to start that I know. It is coming; with the Premiership title! Calm down Roj, dreaming is allowed. Champions League spot?

Music. Pretty well covered with blogs as-is, but there is and will be no end in my musical journey. The day that ends, I will cry! Might have a new one coming soon if I get my finger out…


The ‘Work’ bleep is also sadly covered – never say never that this is 100% finished – no additions currently. Grumble.

MS! This (MS blogging topic) should receive more attention as it is my, err, thing, that I live with and respect. Until recently there was a great deal of medical and research projects highly visible if knowing where to look for them. Now though, that rush of advancements seems, to the public eye, to have slowed down. #Nonewsgoodnews? Let’s hope so!

Other Crack. Indeed! “Any other business” or just me adding some other subjects of interest:
Mathematical Pi
Pi; and (I said) Films. However, currently certain TV grabs one’s attention more so.

Yoda story. Enhance this story I will.

MS Phugoid. Think ups and downs.

“What do you do?” Killer dating question?

Food. This should NOT be at the end of this short summarised ‘contents list’ and will become – I strongly hope – a new page en route.

So that opens the door for me to stop messing about and not doing what I DO enjoy doing – and BLOG! The foundations are set.


Coming soon: more (fitting) pages to make this teaser worthwhile!

Newly Diagnosed MS Presentation 2023

Newly Diagnosed MS Presentation 2023 In June 2023 I was asked by the Multiple Sclerosis Society if I could assist with an event for some people recently diagnosed with #MS. I was asked to give an approximate 10 minute presentation as someone with MS to talk about my experience of being diagnosed and life since diagnosis – have to say, it needed to be realistic but upbeat too! I happily accepted! The event was at the Grand Hotel, Gosforth, Newcastle, 15th July.  See the running order below, followed by the speech I wrote and gave:   The running order was:   10.15 for 10.30 start – welcome 10.45                  Gill, MS specialist nurse, RVI on the role of the MS nurse 11.15                  Dr Martin Duddy, explaining MS, research and treatments 12.15                  comfort break 12.20 /12.15        Personal perspective of being diagnosed – Roger 12.45         Over to you – chance for people on their tables to share their experiences and learn from

F1 Aerodynamics in Schools

Being a STEM Ambassador, I keep check with what STEM enrichment activities are planned that I feel I could support with my experience. I saw an “ F1 Aerodynamics ” related request and it tickled my buds somewhat! So I vested my interest via the formal portal/method to/with STEM and this was responded to. What was the challenge? It is a global competition given as per: “ The Competition - What's It All About? You are a Formula One™ team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula One Car of the Future, powered by compressed air cylinders. ” The first of the activities was in a middle school in Whitley Bay, to simply share my experience (having been an Aerodynamicist) with the Year 8 kids taking part in the F1 challenge. I enjoyed helping them with what they were doing at that part of their challenge.  BBC! Wow. I would have loved to have had that opportunity at that age. Unbelievable! Showing my age, a bit?! (my middle school had a

Ocrevus

  Ocrevus . Notes 1 The infusion was completed at 1pm, and I was asked to wait for 15 minutes after the cannula had been removed. I was told to take it easy for the rest of the day, that'd I'd be tired. Body not used to the new drug, nor my mind, given that I had been anxious about #Ocrevus day. Ok then, I'll accept a lazy day. Was planning a curry takeaway anyway! I am tired. A few nights of bad / poor sleep. Ocrevus. Notes 2 Second infusion (second half dose) done by 1ish. Then again asked to rest for the day. Yes, as per, I was tired. #Anxiety due to an earlier taxi booking (for 07:20), with the small alarm fear! And also a few wake-ups during the night. Usual, but! Prepared with laptop, phone (obviously), headphones, sarnie, bottle of water, and chargers in case. And a BBCi downloaded film. The same as my first unknown Ocrevus trip. Slower start than last infusion, but after the paracetamols and antihistamine, the weak steroid infusion did its thing for half an hour; wi
