Glad

Please can I draw attention to the announcement at the top of the health board,

Warning! This board is about Health MoneySaving. This is not a place for discussion/ treatment of medical issues.

The original poster is already seeing his GP regarding treatment and needed advice on wether the company he works for is obliged to alter his working conditions or find him alternative work,
although it's easy to go off track slightly and start suggesting treatments to help people it is important to remember that we are not always given the full picture re someones health, and no-one should start any treatment/medication without consulting their GP first.

I am not offering any advice here, except to listen to Radio 4's Casenotes this week: Tuesday 21:00-21:30, Repeat Wednesday 16:30. I heard a trailer saying they would be covering Raynaud's and their programmes have always seemed quite useful when I've had some experience of the subject they are covering. If you miss it, there will be stuff on the website once the programme has been aired.

I think maybe you misheard the trailer.

Case Notes isn't on this week it's "All in the Mind" about ageing, the mental health bill and jury profiling.

I expect you heard a trail for Check Up which is on THURSDAY Radio 4 at 15:00

Barbara Myers presents the health phone-in. This edition looks at Raynaud's phenomenon, a distressing and uncomfortable condition in which the hands and toes can turn blue or red.

Call 08700 100 444 [national rates] or email checkup@bbc.co.uk

I misheard the trailer! I THOUGHT the woman's voice didn't sound like the Case Notes chap but I missed the distinction on the webpage. Sorry to mislead anyone!

OK, this is the Check Up website, so if you miss the programme go and see what they had to say later!

Now you see this is why we mustn't give medical advice on this board. Half of us don't have fully functioning brains, and we mean very well but we sometimes just get confused!
