I wear glasses for distance. My readings are: R: SPH -1.00 CYL -1.25 L: SPH -0.75 CYL -1.00 But these are no good for computer work. I've tried varifocals but can't get away with them. So I'm looking for a prescription just for computer work (I'm about 3ft away from the screen). So the rest of my prescription says: R: Near…

Over 60 and still getting spots!

Dental hygienist/staining removal
I’ll start by saying I feel really stupid as I seem to have created a problem unnecessarily and am now looking for guidance. About 15 months ago my long term (25years or so) dentist retired and I had to find another practice. All fine, registered with a new (nhs) dentist and had a check up. He recommended the services of a…

Caught by diet pill scam
My wife unfortunately didn't exercise enough caution when she accepted a "Free Trial" of diet pills. Once they arrived she examined the paperwork, found it unreasonable and then tried to return the pills by phoning the number given. No answer - just a recording. Cutting a long story short, I now know this is a scam which…

I need some physio on my back. I find NHS physio so over stretched and under funded, I am thinking of going private. I don't have any medical insurance I can claim the cost back from. Having a quick look around, it' looks like I'll be charged between £55-60 for an initial consultation and then £40-50 for appointments…
