Had appointment at five,anyway was the locum but nevertheless better then nothing few things were sorted out,firstly got some stronger anti biotics for my lump got to be taken 4x daily she said to me I need to get back into keeping a daily diary of my bloods again she said too many near double figures could be causing the lumps to keep reacurring..... Needles have now been changed to 8mm and this time they have been added to my script instead of a nurse putting a note on a box for me lol....Also I now have some amitryptalene for my neuropathy which is only because I saw people on here actually took something for it...
My pharmacy is getting renivated at the moment so there making do with the tiniest corner on the shop floor which was a nightmare lol....

Hope you get relief from the antibiotics and amitriptyline, when my shoulder was at its worst I took amitriptyline and noticed the reduction in pain within a couple of hours, so I hope they work for you 🙂xxx
