Hi AJhowell16,

Hope you get some relief soon. Unfortunately it can take a while for the meds to kick in. Fingers crossed for you that it happens soon,

Regards

Hi Beverley,

Thanks for the message, my consultant seems much more proactive since my scan results came back, hopefully things will settle down soon.

Regards

AJ
