Hi John S
I had just finished breakfast when my wife came into the kitchen and asked, "did you bring the newspaper in"? I said no; but I fed the birds, I always forget the paper, perhaps the news is too bad to read these days.

#16 Mywife is already on something similar Des , the one I get for her is Souvenaid which you see on tv ads. It was a free sample our Dr. got so gave us the first batch free gratis . Have continued with it and is not cheap. How how can one say if it is doing any good as wouldnt know what the effect would be if she wasn’t taken it. ?JS

Hi John
Over the last seventeen years that I have been seeing this Dr he always asks me if I have changed my mind about letting nature take its course and still let my immune system do the work, and I always answer the same Yes, But last time he gave me a prescription for a tiny pill, I asked what is this for, he said it's to supplement the one you are taking for your heart, I said can I cut it in half, he said yes as long as you take half every morning, no idea what it does .

If it’s the same one the specialist gave me last week as a further supplement it will be moxonidine 200 mg. a very small orange tablet one at night and one in the morning it is for blood pressure. It was after taken such last Thursday that I collapsed at the door , so until I mention it to him in 3 weeks time as far as I can see I am keeping it as one of the causes of the fall by maybe my BP going too low. Unfortuanetley I Won’t have had the brain scan by then as is another probability. You can probably check the drug on google Me I don’t want to know. We live in a world of tablets , I can remember taking an aspirin for a bad head after a night of bedlam and that was it . Today is another story, when I complained to another doctor 10 years ago about all the tablets he prescribed he said the tablets are to keep you alive. I have missed a few in the past, and according to my bathroom mirror I’m still here. Cheers and be a good boy and take your medicine . JS

Myu wife had a female GP, all she wanted to do was give her pills of some sort.
Waiting for a knee op she gets a lot of pain but when she looked at the contents of some pills she left them at the pharmacy.
Now got a new doc, Pakistani but what a good one.
Gave her a one at night pill, soothes the pain next day.
Think some of the GP's get a bonus from the pill manufacturers the rate they issue them.
Thankfully I need no regular medication, blood pressure is fine.
