Don't know if this has been covered before, if it has my apologies.

I had a fairly frightening experience last weekend with what I thought was just a "crick in the neck".

What started as a dull ache when I got up turned into the worst pain I've ever had by dinnertime, and according to Liz I lost all my colour, was pouring with sweat and shaking like a leaf. All I remember is having to lie down while fearing the worst. This happened twice, once in the hotel where we were booked for Sunday lunch(which I never got!) and again in the hospital.

At the hospital, the A&E doctor told me it was all due to a "muscle spasm" in my neck and that it would heal itself, in time.

Since it happened on Sunday, it's a hell of a lot better and I'm just about back to whatever passes as normal for me.  


Now, however, I've got another point to ponder.

My neighbour and workmate has told Liz that my symptoms are classic of Diabetes. As my dad suffers from this, I'm understandably a bit worried.

Does anyone have any experience of this and also, what are the implications for diving?

If it matters, I shall be 40 in a few weeks, not overweight and I keep myself fairly fit.

Thanks in advance.
