Hi Carol,

Everything seems to be in place so all you can do now is to try and enjoy the ride..

… well, perhaps 'enjoy' is stretching it a bit but you sound like the sort of person who will take and make note of the experience.8-)

In the meantime enjoy your break in Spain… and while you are there try and mentally bottle some of the…[Read more]

Hi janet and all other "yellow Liners"8-)

I hope the cough is soon sorted 😀 nothing worse than a bloody nite cough :-S I remember when i stopped smoking (nov 2009) I suffered (and still do) a cough and more chest infections that you can shake a stick at.

I got flu and ended up with a chest infection at the end of it :-/ so off to Dr's…[Read more]

Thank you all for reporting in. I am curious about what drug causes what… but moreover I want to work with my specialist nurse to try and find remedies for those side-effects that cause misery (rather than treatment threatening withdrawal).:-(

I suppose I want to find out the cause and effects of Dex because I hope to be on it for a long…[Read more]

Michelle,

All I can say is how sorry I am for you and your children… I hope that the love you shared with Phil will live on in you and yours… providing you with the strength to carry on together.

Dai.

You are out… now stay out… and get stronger under your own steam.:-D

BUT… don't hesitate to call for help if you think something is wrong… there have been too many cases here of people (ahem) who think they should [b]'hang on for a while longer before I call in with this' [/b]etcetera.;-)

Good luck and good health Andy.:-)…[Read more]

Hi Dai the lovely Dex a necessary evil we love to hate!! I have had the mouth tingling too , not too troublesome though just a minor annoyance . I also have trouble passing water at times which I found puzzling but I think you have hit the nail on the head it is likely to be Dex I just hadnt thought of it before Both these side-effects are just a…[Read more]

Hi Dai

Sorry i have missed your post.Rearly good to hear new treatment is working,and you have some releave from the pain.

Hi Janet

How are you doing? hope the cough is better?

Hi Eliz

We ought to start up a "Yellow Liner" group ha ha. but to be honest they (the hospital) should have places where folk with the blue badge can have free parking.
