Hi Karen.....As you will see it is late and I am on my way to bed. Do try again...there are several of us UK ones around but perhaps you would rather email me direct on [log in to unmask] Is there anything specific you want to know now re Dr's and drugs or do you just want a chat? If you email me direct with your phone number or contact address I will give you a ring.
