Random Irritations

[Deleted member 1740]

It's a while ago mate, I can't remember what they gave me. What I do remember is describing to my GP what it was like (I described it as like someone tightening a jubilee clip around my head) & he immediately said "That's trigeminal neuralgia" & wrote a prescription. Whatever it was sorted it.

If it would help I'll go round to the surgery and ask them to look at my notes and ask them what I was given?

Ah right, glad it’s sorted.

She suffers with the pain down her right side of her face from just below her eye to the middle of her lip. its alright mate, she’s going to try this other stuff she’s been recommended by this other specialist.... thanks anyway ??

Idiots that can’t take 10 minutes to clean a bit of snow of their cars.

I'd certainly go for gout in the big toe as the worst pain I've suffered. Having my hips replaced was a walk in the park by comparison

Making me worry about my hips now...

...but sciatica - now I was struck down with that some 10 yrs ago and the agony remains with me to this day. Finding myself lying down on the floor of my local pharmacy as the pain was so excruciating to stand or sit...

buying soluble pain killers instead of normal tablets - I appreciate that they get into your system quicker but they taste bloody horrible.

Agreed.. Nothing tastes worse than Beecham powders ?

I would rather have a Beechams than a hot toddy.
My Dad was Scottish and he couldn't understand it ??

A buddies' wife had acupuncture for the same thing - it worked for her. You want some one who has been in business for a while, registered and preferably also does stuff for NHS

My dad use to make a toddy using hot Bannana Rum, absolutely vile YUK.

Not the pain, but one of the worst experiences I have had was the camera down the throat without general anethestic. Just don’t do it.

Had a few nasty pains recently but will not go into as it is lunch time.

They use same camera for both ends too

Is that the one where they go up the nose and down the throat. Been there, done that.

That sounds like the most disgusting "medication" ever!

Sprinkle the Beechams onto the peanut butter - "simples"

When Buying in shops these days, the sellers taking you for a ride.
I'm old enough to know when you were treated properly, not as someone to exploit if you are daft enough, or frail or trusting enough.
I get the impression that the younger generation expect it as being the norm, so you "had better be on your toes", but I consider it just one of the ills of this once great Country.

I do, so try not to buy it so much, and usually the smooth which I find less tempting! Need it to hide dog pills in though!

I totally agree with that. The whole premise of selling you what you need so as you leave a satisfied customer has been fully replaced with an attitude of trying to sell you as much as possible whether you need it or not (and ideally trying to convince you that you need plenty of options and extras that you really do not).

Need to be careful with that. Sure I read the other day that certain brands of peanut butter now contain a substance that is not good for pets. Wish I could remember the details but worth googling.
