  • Hi lindaad,

    I'm sure this is a feeling that many on here will be able to relate to - it's something we've seen people write about quite a bit. I can understand it is difficult.

    Hopefully you'll get more replies to your post soon from others with similar experience.

    Of course if you were to have any concerns or questions, do keep in touch with your doctor at any point.

    Wishing you all the best,
