Yes, I had the same problem for my prescription they said they could only supply a few days (Bolamyn) and to come back and collect the rest in a couple of days. I was then told they have a manufacturing problem and cannot supply me with any more and can't give me my unfulfilled part of my...

I was diagnosed diabetic 6 years ago at 30 and I presented with neuropathy. Mine came on almost overnight and never left. It has been trial and error and a lot of persistence to get to a point where I can handle the constant pain I have. I found the most useful medication for pain relief has...

Thank you so much Bluetit and Jack for replying it is much appreciated. I have felt unwell but I ignored it stupidly.

Thank you for your...
