Today in The States it is Labor Day, a national holiday. The country will be pool side and at barbeques but here I alone and lonely, just me and my dog. I think I will need invite God in for company.

I live in the USA (not born here though) and I think I may have missed the memo about the pool and BBQ thing!

Me too !!!!!

Even though every system has its flaws, I must say that overall healthcare in my country is great. As is my GP.

I needed scripts, so I called the doc's office at 11 PM. I went there at 2 PM, parked my car, started walking towards the building, and saw my usual GP outside the door of her office at a distance. She went back in without saying "hi". Weird, I thought, maybe she didn't see me, but before I could actually think about it she came out again with a bundle of my scripts and a big smile. Cost: $0.00

That is great Wide-O.

The public health system here (Medicare, similar to the NHS in the UK) is similar.

When I need a replacement script for my calcium-channel blocker I just go to my GP (which is free).

It is then just a matter of getting it supplied by a pharmacist. Medicare subsidises this - it costs me about $A1 per day.

Wow, you're lucky, our medical practice varies charges for issuing scripts without an appt. anything from $10 to $15 & depending on the circumstances our normal GP will mostly bulk bill DB if he is attending, yet she always charges me, minimum $80 of which we get about $37 back from m/care. Maybe once or twice a year she will bulk bill me. But as a practice about 3 years ago they put big signs out saying we will no longer bulk bill so we are appreciative of the bulk billing when we get it. We could change to a bulk billing practice but I've been going to this practice since I was a teenager and they have all my history. DB since we came to Aus 2004. I've been seeing my current GP for 7 years and 3 years for DB. She really does care for us both so we suck it up.

Hi everyone.
Sorry I haven't been posting for a while. My PN, especially in my feet, has got quite bad lately. My feet are now constantly completely numb. Can anyone who has suffered similar, recommend any supplements/combination of supplements that have helped them?
Thanks for any help?

Coopster, good to see you back though wish you had better news to report.
Despite my best efforts I continue to decline so I have no advice for you. Hopefully others will chime in.

MrsD seems to be the supplement expert on this...refer back to page 1 & 2 of this thread for her initial thoughts on me. Maybe they will be of help.

Throw in a good diet and ZERO alcohol and hopefully you will at least plateau and not keep declining.
