Mandy,
How do I accept you as a friend or invite others to friendship?
Going to drink some seriously expensive Macallan Single malt that my son got me for Christmas and bugger the consequences! No Oxy’s tonight and maybe, just maybe, I will get at least a quarter of a nights sleep!!! LOL!!
Cheers
Jim (JimBob)

Hi Jimbob & thanks for the reply. I fully agree, I feel so sorry for my ever patient husband he must really be fed up with my ailments. I went back to my G.P just before Christmas & apart from the OxyContin & Oxynorm she has changed my medication to see if this helps.
