Hi

I have never ever been prescribed this before, usually they gove me metronitrazole (urgg!) and amoxiclav . 

This disease is ruining my life!!

      Never apologise for ranting! It's an evil disease, I know how you feel. I never know how to manage this problem and nor do the doctors and neither do they seem to care either!
