I am now finding my medication confusing, going to ask the chemist to do a pack thing, 17 in the am, 10 at lunch, 10 at dinner and 12 at bed time, getting complicated, anyone got any advice, got a pill compartment thing but the doors will not shut it is too small, lol

You'll find larger ones online. I have one, but damned if I can remember where it came from--bought it online years ago. Best wishes. x

does it have a name on it, got told I have neuralgia today that is why i have swelling above the jaw and pain in my gums and teeth so 2 more pills a day, lol, having a good day now, did wake at 2.15am for pain killers and again at 7.00 am so went to docs, neuralgia, he showed me a diagram and makes sense as problem is right where they went through my jaw muscle, goos to know as thought it was another bleed, and although I fell over twice in the doctors, much better now, dont know why, but dont care just happy not falling over every ten minutes, lol

sorry. no there's no name on it....mind you even the days have worn off now. It was just a cheapo one....there are loads. I'm going to look for one myself; one that separates into individual days so you can take them out with you.

Hope your neuralgia settles down pretty soon....that is reeeeally painful. Glad to hear you're in better spirits. xx

Can sympathise with the neuralga as my OH had it(trineuralga) and was in agony, apparently it's all to do with the nerve endings. In the end he had to go to A and E as the pain was so bad and it was the first time ever i saw him in tears . They gave him a prescription drug that stops the nerve end pain which fortunately worked, it was a strong drug that I think is used for MS . we cant remember the name of it unfortunately- but there is something out there that cures this nerve end pain! Best of Luck
