    Hi Min

    I know what you mean. The doc gives me diazepam 5 mgs. He gives me 28 at a time, but
    I only take them when a G and T stops working. Packet lasts me about 10 weeks.
    Take care
    Love Jean xx

    Joe I am so sorry to hear of the situation you find yourself in. I can understand
    how you feel about worrying your parents especially your dad. I can only give you
    my feelings on it as a mum of four sons. I would be very hurt if one of my boys was
    going through what you are on their own. Maybe you can tell your mum and let her
    decide if your…[Read more]

  • Gill
    That is the best news that I have heard in a long time. (since Shirley's news) I am so very pleased for you both. It's so good that you questioned the ones in the "know", a lot of people would take what the professionals say as "gospel" My very best to you and Stephen and have a BILLIANT weekend.

    Love Jean xx

  • Hi all

    I never know under what subject heading to post. Anyway today we went to see consultant. We actually saw the consultant, not a registrar, and she said that she was happy with the bloods. Although the protein had risen from 26 to 28 she was not concerned as it had been 31 at one time. Heamaglobin had improved and said the other bloods…[Read more]
