  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I don't have any experiences with this to share with you but I noticed that your post hadn't had any response yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' it back to the top of the page where it'll be more easily seen.

    If you don't get any response you could post your question in the ask a nurse section of the community and one of the specialist nurses will aim to respond within 2 working days.
