RE: Drakensberg Hidden Gems For Outdoor Adventure
A lovely post here Lady Joan and how I long for those mountains.
But then again I also long for the Magoebas Kloof mountains and we are now here surrounded by the Hottentots Hollands mountains.
Imagine that! In our "modern" medical system a none diagnosis is once again delivered. Many hopeful ideas about what it might be, but no solid conclusion.
I am forced to drink a cortisone pill every day since my skin problem started in 2012 and I have to use a 3 mix, patly cortisone cream on the itchy spots also daily.
I have seen many doctors, dermatologists, skin biopsies (all benign) and heard a lot of thumb suck ideas about what it might be.
The end result is that we think my immune system is faulty. We, not the doctors.
Of course the costs almost bankrupted us, all for nothing!
Blessings!
Modern medical aid systems know how to bleed funds out of one quickly with doctors not solving issues most of the time. After paying into medical aid funds all your working life you would think they would give pensioners a better footing in the latter years, alas they still screw you exactly the same as taxman!
You live close to amazing mountain passes, I miss seeing the Cape but am in two minds of ever returning to wipe out wonderful memories I have of the region with modern development destroying so much.
