Hi Janet,
I'm not sure why I'm staying on it. Things are different here in the UK
and it may be down to cost with the NHS or the fact that it was my
regular GP who was dealing with the drug wanted to see if it would work
I'm not sure.
However, the good news is the whole rash and everything has settled down
and I am feeling much better. But thanks to everyone for the support,
it means a great deal to me, more than I though it would.
Thank you
