Hi Gill

So sorry your PN is so bad. Do hope some of the suggestions here help. It's one of the things I dread as I have something similar following nerve damage through one of my hip operations. I find Reflexology helps. Although sometimes a bit painful during the treatment it does seem to get the circulation going. I wonder how Dai got on…[Read more]

Hi Gina

Best wishes.

Hi Chelle

So sorry you and your husband are having such a hard time. As everyone says, don't give up, these Consultants seem to be able to come up with a plan. If yours doesn't ask for a second opinion.

All very best wishes.

Green shield stamps were amazing when they came out! I still have a few glass plates and a mixing bowl that came from there Mind you the amount you had to spend to get them was astronomical!! My mum smoked Embassy cigarettes and she used to send me up the road to sell the cigarette cards as they did a similiar scheme love Bridget x

Hi Debs just thought do you have any contact with the Macmillan nurses? They are expert in pain relief and so knowledgeable about different types Perhaps you could ask for a referral. I have found minne so helpful in all sorts of ways it might be worth a go for you love Bridget x

Any one remember green shield stamps,i know we saved books of them,cannot remember were we got them from??? or what they bought.

Hi Angela
What i am saying is you cannot second guess without more information,May be the nurse on Ellane on this site might be better at explaining it than I am.
I would hate you to think your father died because he was not well cared for.
