  • Hi Dick

    I know,I can always remember thinking,I wish I had known that at first,we try to cram all this information in and it is hard,Slims consultant was very good at answering my questions with ” don,t worry about that” hindsight is a wonderful thing! And the best place to come for knowledge is here on this site,there is always someone in front…[Read more]

  • Hi Bryn and all the other new comers that have joined this post.

    Hi again Tony, I am on the trial too, and go up to the Hope clinic, I agree it is much better, and seem to get seen to much quicker! One day we may bump into each other again. I know what you mean about getting tired. Keep well.
