I had a really good appointment with consultant,she listerned to what i had to say about the codeine problem and was very understanding,she told me that this happens more than you think and it will take some time to get past it she also said that it was good that i realised the problem myself.She ordered blood tests as she thought there was some inflammation going on as finger joints and wrists are swollen and slightly warm,knees are a little bit achey this is new for me,so she will let me know the results of tests so im back on the naproxen for a while.She asked if i felt the hydroxy had had any effect,which i didnt think had so i am to try the lef again i dont mind this as i think the problem was the codeine.Got to go back in 4 weeks and have another blood test in two weeks.So i came home feeling a lot calmer as i didnt like facing her after last time,hopefully i can get some sleep tonight now i got today over with.
thank you all for being there with me it helps knowing i can pull you all out of pockets should i need to,Mig

    Well done, mig! I know you were a bit apprehensive about facing her but it looks like the two of you are working really well together which can only benefit you. I'm very pleased.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    So pleased the consultant understands what your going through mig, and hopefully the blood tests will help in getting the next step sorted so you can go on living your life.
