      GP said to give it some time & it MAY go away, if it's still with me by my next appointment with him I'll either ask for something to try & stop it, or maybe go onto something else..not sure if anything can be done about it thougth!.

      Haha..who knows...:-)

      Purchase a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit, that'll cure it for you 😃
