    Hello @Mags2019 Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for joining and sharing.

    I am one of the team of community champions who guide, advise and help new members who join.

    Sorry to hear this. Hope the medication is working.

    Unfortunately we are not medical professionals so can not advise on medication. That is for the Doctor that you have.

    Please ask if we can help and advise on anything else.

    Have a look around our website and forum.  We are friendly, care and share.
