Oh sweetie
Have a cry by all means, beanie, I do that if I'm ill or if it just comes up sometimes - it's tiring/relaxing, and helps you sleep.
So sorry you've had to come off other meds to cope with the pain meds 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Don't worry, I don't have one either - it's propped up by the inside of the door to my airing cupboard, along with the extension pipe to my vacuum cleaner and a couple of rolled posters :kisses3:2023: the year I get to buy a car0

I haven't got a Christmas paper box either. I keep mine in the bag Boots put them in a few years ago in the days of free bags.

So sorry you're still feeling so poorly Beanie, have you spoken to doc who might be able to prescribe something which you can take alongside your usual stuff......or is it like our docs where you have to plan being ill a month in advance to get an appointment.
