Hi Jim,
Yes, your right, I have always said, I would not be keen to try the newer meds, however even my consultant has said they are so new, no one knows the long term side effects! However I can honestly say, at this moment in time albeit a weak moment! I would honestly take or give anything for just 5 mins without pain. It's 12.45p.m. I have been up since 4a.m. Because I can't sleep more than a few hours, the pain wakes me, prevents me sleeping. I'm going to take your advice and go to g.p. In the morning and insist they contact consultant and try to get me in quicker, though apparently they have requested an urgent appointment. Sorry for the moan, really, I'm usually a tough cookie but it's just constant and I'm so tired trying to fight it.
Thank you for kind words and advice and for being up at this time of night!
