I love the UK free health system, it might have limitations but so do so systems. I do disagree on melatonin policy of only four weeks at a time, as I do need it, but can get round it by buying it in so at least I got to test it out before expense of own supply. My gp warned me about hibernation and...

As melatonin working, and I have such a dramatic reaction to many drugs. I am reluctant to change things.

I have been referred for a global psychological assessment. Anyone know what this is, why it is nessecary? I am quite nervous as most of these things I am too honest with, and as it being used to assess suitability of me being a parent, this is a concern.

I am being told the same, as my communication as is poor verbally. I do well, with written communication, but told due to this quirky style I am harming children. I speak to my lot, and people I know who but combination of select mute and speech fluency issues means no one understands my speech. I a...

They have been placed 200 mile away with my sister meaning i see them if she comes down, normally twice a year! I have no chance of going up there, as too much. No appointments, no follow ups, just me and my dog, who I will pass once I can find her a good home. Just given up, waiting to say happy bi...
