January in fact didn't start too well anyway. I went down with flu at the start of the month. It lasted only days but then followed with a bad cough. Even now I still have its remains. Now I have deafness. That shouldn't be a problem now that pharmacies can prescribe. Except that to do so they must be first qualified on the otoscope (look it up) and most seemingly are not yet. If they did find excessive wax then the NHS no longer offers syringing by GPs. Seems rather like the failed NHS dental system. Anyway, never mind, I've got a GP appointment booked before the end of February.
I had my second eye check-up and have now booked an optician's appointment later this month.
Oh, and I've attended two routine consultant's appointments and no I apparently don't need immunoglobulin (there is a national shortage) unless I develop repeated infections (like flu, cough, deafness?)
