    Poor you, it's awful when you don't get a proper sleep and are in such pain. I'm happy for you that your GP has been helpful. I hope the stronger painkillers help.

    Hi Val,

    Sorry your having problems sleeping, thats never easy to deal with but when its caused by pain it becomes worse somehow. I hope the new tablets will do the job and you has a much better night to night. Its always nice to have a helpful doctor and take care Cris x

    Hello, I'm glad your GP is so good and understanding, it makes all the difference in the world dosn't it? I'm also lucky, my GP is very good and so are quite a few in the practice, which is quite big. It makes you feel better just to know the doctor care. When you visit the docs a lot, the relationship needs to be built up with trust.

    Hope you have a really good sleep tonight, and the painkillers work, but if they don't something else will, theirs lots of things out their!!! :wink: Love Sue

    I have to say that my doc is brillant as well,when my first rummy appointment was cancelled a week before i was due to go i went and saw her to get some stronger painkillers as i was in so much pain and she phoned the hospital there and then and spoke to the consultant and was able to get a new appointment for me.

    She even phoned me a few days later out of the blue after starting on the tablets to see how i was and i said i felt sick and she said no problem i will give you a prescription for some tabs to protect your belly did`nt have to go and see her or anything.

    She is one in a million :D

    Hi, my gp is very good, if I can't get to the surgery because I feel ill he either rings or visits, he gives me anything I need, and also corresponds with my gp and they work together, the rest in the surgery are rubbish though, and he only works mon/tuesday love Jaspercatxx
