That’s a lot to process after all the waiting. Pamper yourself after the steroids. (They’re always rough on me. I just did 3 days before Christmas.) Good luck choosing a DMT if necessary. Enjoy your chocolate! You deserve it!

janetb1968 it's taken a while to get there but they got there in the end. When I needed steroids it was February, my appointment came through for May, by which time I was feeling better, that's the NHS for you. Thinking of you and I needed an excuse to have some Cadburys so I will join you. Take care and let us know how you get on when you feel upto it, blessings Jimeka 🙏 🍫 👍 🦋

Some times it stinks when you have friends that care about you one piece of candy 🍬 my down fall candy is, may be I shouldn’t use that word (down fall) well my candy is peanut 🥜 M&M’s

Your friends are good people.

On the ride home who ever drives you just say you need a few things let them know you need bread, juice and what ever else and at the end say oh can you get me a Cadbury bar. Hopefully they don’t say anything negative and just get it for you. 👍🤞🤨

hope you will now get some answers and some treatment and to start to feel better real soon.
