    Hi Passion,

    You are having a hard old time of it. As you say it sounds like there,s lack of  communication somewhere along the line. Then to give you a medicine for your Mum which would make her worse.Its just as well you where home when they phoned.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi passion

    Sorry it's so difficult.  It might help to write out or type up a brief history.  Print multiple copies and keep it to hand, that way if you are constantly asked for a history you can whip it out and tell them it's all there which saves distress and you forgetting anything.

    Hope things look up a bit soon.lx
