Tony can only suggest that you ditch the sultanas for a month or so and see if there is improvement. I know that once I did that I can take a knocks much better without bleeding or sores anymore. Think it is something to do with blood being thinned out. As for specialists I am in the same camp as most of you and should be shunned at all costs. Being an old codger I found out that they only see a mobile wallet that ones only use is to polish waiting room seats. When the sheriff died that paramedics wanted to try to restart her heart. Told them that if they did that then they should expect a tirade from her. Also I would have to move back to the UK or be killed. She was adament that she did not want to go back into the hospital and any cost. Just as an aside. The Dr wanted me to see a specialist about prostrate. Printed out medical history for me. On it was depression. I told him about this and we both agreed that I am far from being that or ever have been. It seems that when I was in hospital many years ago that they put it on my card. Result it has been taken of and still not seen the specialist and not likely to either. As said to the Dr we all have to go with something do we not. Quality over Quantity is my moral and not wasting time sitting in waiting rooms.
