Rubbish pharmacists.

Doctor told me to slowly come off my steroids and slowly up the dose of pregabalina.

I did as instructed but feeling worse and worse all week. I assumed it was because of missing the steroids.

But doc prescribed me 25 mg.
The pharmacist gave me 100mg.

So I've been ...

Not a clue.

Didn't see that coming

On a serious note : would a lack of pressure between the roller and can lobe cause this? Push rods too short and not maintaining optimum pressure.

Probably a rubbish thought but I'll blame heat exhaustion.

Some year in early 80s there were more folk killed fishing than all UK motorsports together.

Charlatans and brigands abound these waters...aaaaargh!

Diclofenac? I thought 'that looks familiar'.

Sure enuff it's what the gel is that they prescribe to treat sun damaged skin/actinic keratosis. I think it's a more potent brew than the likes of Voltarol. Haven't a clue why it would work on damaged skin though.

Been retired three years now. Unexpectedly bumped into a couple of old colleagues. They said that they still speak about the work I did and the support I gave them, plus many others across the business. I'll not lie, it made me feel really happy. Knowing I made a positive difference means a lot ...
