      Omg! When was this? 

      I didn't realise being good on them could result in being taken off of them. Really unfair.xx

    Yep I was told 5% of my body weight in 3mths - I guess the nhs need to have rules/guidance

    I wasn't told at what point theyd be stopped but I only want to use short term due to the tablets stopping the body absorb good fats which are essential.
