    That's what happens when you get a life-shock like that. Enjoy and get something from every day. Live for now, not future plans. You are a man of taste, it shouldn't be difficult

Often during these attacks I had no idea how to take the next breath, and more than once I experienced fear of death. Almost weekly I had to be transported to the next hospital by an ambulance car (often during odd hours deep in the night) to enable me to breathe again.

    Fortunately this happened the last time until now early October last year, more than seven months ago, and I think and do hope these asthamatic spasms won’t return ever again.....
    I contacted Werner back in August last year around the time of his birthday. He informed me that he had been poorly, but that it was 'just a pneumonia'.

    Talk about playing things down!

    Again around christmas time he informed that his health had improved just recently.

    I thought that the initial pneumonia was under control and had no idea that it was as bad as Werner has described above.

    I am very glad to hear that he is doing much better now.

    Stay well Werner!

    Many thanks again for your sympathy, my dear friends. Highly appreciated.

    Werner.
    Hey, I'm a new member around here but I read a lot and wanted to say that your contributions for the BM faceplate were quite appreciated

    We all need goals and projects to make life even more interesting and a new Beresford product could just be the ticket. Looking forward to see how it all develops. In the mean time, I really wish your health improves along the way. Beauty and generosity is a great ticket for another great day. Make it count.

    Well done Werner for stopping smoking so that your health can hopefully improve further

    After many attempts I finally kicked the habit 3 Christmas's ago, and this time it stuck....phew. I know how difficult it can be

    Only booze now, well maybe a 'legal high' here and there too but I don't count that

    If you're talking about what I think you are Nina,mid be extremely careful, they can be a hell of a lot more damaging than the illegal stuff (and only legal as they're not illegal yet, before proper classification).

    Thanks Martin for you're concern

    Don't worry about me, I'll be just fine..... It's a very rare thing anyhow so I'm sure it's ok

    Is there anyone that's tried just the 'SBooster' from Mark Grant on their Bushmaster?

    I'd love to try the Linear power supply from Mark but funds won't allow at the mo

    I was thinking just the SBooster for now

    Thanks all

    I tried just the sbooster with my BM,did not like what it did,may be i was to quick to judge ,i sent it back to Mark,so you can't go wrong really.
    I do find the sbooster works well on it's own with my SB classic and the linear sbooster psu makes my SB touch come on song,but i still prefer the BM as it came out of the box.Just goes to show you can't tell till you try..
