Thank you Kim.

I went to the GP about my condition not improving (CRPS) and we discussed me going to the specialist hospital in Bath, Somerset for treatment there including two weeks as an inpatient. This is where the UK's leading authority on CRPS is based.

" Good idea" the doctor said "But I cant refer you there until all other avenues have been gone down, the NHS Commissioners rule." My doctor at least agreed the probable 2nd best alternative was to send me to the St Thomas's hospital and pain clinic in London. I await an appointment. My doctor said it will be them that could refer me to the Bath hospital if they cant help me enough.

My doctor did give me another pill to try and it gave me the best night's sleep I'v had since last November. Pregabalin 75mg twice a day. It is definitely taking much of the small annoying pains and aches away.

John.
