  • Hello Mcquick1

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing health problems. It sounds like it's been a difficult time for you and I can understand that you're feeling anxious about what may be going on. 

    It's good to hear that your recent blood tests didn't raise any immediate concerns. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for the appointment with the specialist and they will be able to give you some answers. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Do let u know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
