    Good Morning Folks

    I hope you're all well.  So sorry for not giving you folks an update.  I have had some bad family news regarding Covid19 recently, so have been occupied with comforting relatives etc..

    Anyway, I took my completed access to medical history request form to my doctors on 4th Aug.  On the form it stated that records would be available  within 3 weeks.  However, I only got a call from the surgery last week and I collected them.  Perhaps they have been busy with Covid19 etc?

    On my medical tnotes, there are a fair few medical terms that I do not understand.  Do you suggest that I search online for meanings etc or shall I make an appointment with the doctor to discuss?

    I am also thinking of joining some online groups for support and advice from individuals who have the same medical conditions.  In this case, do you tihnk I should just search on the internet for such groups, or use other social media such as Facebook?

    Thank you
