Update

I thought I would post an update as I realise my last post may have given the impression that things were not very happy and it was possible that something different is about to happen imminently.. Thanks to those who have got in touch with me via email or telephone, but don’t worry, I’m still at home and apart from the more aggressive nature of the pain attacks I just want to reassure you that the initial tests carried out on the blood samples I gave have shown nothing untoward other than deficiencies which may be addressed by supplements. But my keen young GP is concerned I do have a waterWorks infection (this sounds like something from Monopoly) and has prescribed a course of antibiotics as well as suggesting a change in pain relief; a rather drastic change I have to say. I am at present composing a letter to my consultant Dr Hari Krishnan who is being contacted by my GP as she is informing him of her decision to get me to reduce my gabapentin dose down to 1.8 milligrams a day instead of the 2.9 mg I am on at present. I am writing to him to make sure he thinks this is a good idea as he was the one who prescribed the drug at the beginning of the year..
