[QUOTE="Aphorism, post: 1724148, member: 470244"] Hi there My doc suggested my pancreas was probably packing up but has offered no further test; this was after he advised me 'that if I was a lawyer the bill would be mounting up!' Or words to that effect! Without smiling. I may need to change docs! Problem is the pressure on doctors is such that they do not have time to do their job properly, sometimes. Subsequently, poor treatment can result. Typical example; due to a boil over my spine not being lanced (nurse was not up for it and failed to call a doctor) the infection became dangerous and took two courses of penicillin and ove three weeks to drain the site, which had turned into a very painful carbuncle with five heads, that caused a raised red rash over my body and extreme malaise. At one point my partner almost called for an ambulance. Seven weeks later successful granulation has finally occurred, although it has left me very rundown. I was prescribed Pioglitazone, but without being advised the contraindications. Subsequently, after finding out more, and that both Germany and France have banned this drug, I made an informed decision not to take it on the basis of risk, plus having a history of liver damage caused by a gall bladder stone blockage/backflow.
