well that went rather well, after a bumpy start.. PEG decided to give off a pink discharge after cleaning 1st thing.. swiftly cleaned up and loosened a tad by radiology head.. a bit of a pressure sore going on, with it being too tight..managed to get Flamagel RT, after explaining my situation, so I can get that without going through GP now.. most helpful, I must admit.. they're working to arrange my start times to fit with my daughter giving me transport.. but a bit of a sore throat though, not helped by my wife deciding to make candles, to while away the time... the smell of resin is just killing me.. oh hum.. apart from that I feel good, in a good mood. ready to eat ham + cheese omelette and chips. plenty of drugs to take tomorrow and next 3 days, and some anti sickness, if I need them... so, onward and upward.. pleased with today, I must admit.
oh, and afterwards, on the way out, I had the opportunity to try something, the name of which escapes me now.. but you stick this cling film covered 'lollipop' on your tongue for 1 min, under your tongue for 1 min, then you place this disc like thing on along your jaw, and lips, all for 1 min.. it is hoped that it reduces the after effects... we shall see, and hopefully I'll get the name tomorrow..
there's a clash with my erythromycin , I believe..
Ah...sorry

It’s not as if you’ll be holding it in your mouth for weeks. I would imagine the pH is much higher than a glass of orange juice and has much less HCl than a slice of raw onion. I’m sure you’ll be fine.

This is what the ingredients are
Ethanol, flavours, glycerin, methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E218), pH adjusters (hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (E466), sodium phosphate, sucrose, water.
You’ll notice that hydrochloric acid is actually labelled a PH adjuster ….. the manufacturers have mixed HCl ( acid) with Sodium Hydroxide ( alkali ) to adjust the acidity of the preparation. So I might imagine that the pH is near neutral.
