After chasing the hospital regarding my earlier email, I finally got a response this afternoon from the doctor regarding taking of the medication.
“As symptoms (swelling) have been stable /resolved lately, kindly try to slowly wean and stop Fexofenadine
If you are on Fexofenadine 1 tablet daily, reduce to alternate day in the first instance and continue for 6-8 weeks, and then stop. You can restart if symptoms re appear in future.”
Let’s see what happens with reducing the medication.
I was looking back through some emails and came across one about changing our Gas direct debit, as the previous one was ending and the price showing was cheaper.
I then looked at the account where the debit comes from and scrolled back, and we were still paying the same amount from the previous agreement.
As always trying to find a number to contact them, wasn’t easy, but once I did and got through the electronic questions to speak with someone, I was surprised that you had to change the debit amount, it wasn’t done automatically.
I said, nowhere did it say on the agreement that you had to do that.
You must keep an eye on these companies, even more so during the cost-of-living times.
After the blood tests last week, I decided to have a look on the NHS app to see if I could see the results, which I could, and they were all OK regarding the diabetic check.
I like that you can see stuff on the NHS app that you would have no clue about in the past unless you rang up, which you meant waiting in a queue to be answered.
Well, this was a fun journey, Sidcup to Kings Collage Hospital, as there is no direct train route. I was going to change at Lewisham, but as we left Sidcup, I decided not to, instead I went to London Bridge.
Then went down to the underground and took the Jubilee line to Westminster and changed to the District and Circle line to Victoria, where I then took a train out to Denmark Hill, before walking down to the hospital.
The only good thing today, was that I saw the consultant early, as after looking at my leg, said I will get you to have another scan. Why not do this before the appointment?
The other question is how long will I have to wait and will it more local for the scan or up to Kings Collage Hospital again?
This afternoon I had a blood test check on how my diabetic control was.

Leeds United moved nine points clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone after a dominant win over drop rivals Nottingham Forest.
Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck as Daniel Farke‘s men pulled further clear of third-bottom West Ham and level on points with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca headed home a late consolation for 17th-placed Forest, but it failed to mask a wretched defeat.
It was just a fourth win in 16 league games for the hosts, but one which gives 16th-placed Leeds a platform for survival.
Before the game, Farke believed four more wins would ensure their top-flight status and his side showed his confidence was not misplaced with a commanding victory.
Sean Dyche’s men were well beaten at Elland Road and two goals in the space of four minutes from Bogle and Okafor – who ended a 16-match league scoring drought dating back to October – proved decisive.
Calvert-Lewin – who headed against the bar before Bogle‘s 26th-minute opener – added a third goal four minutes after the restart as Leeds made it four successive top-flight home league wins over Forest.
It came from a classy, improvised finish, chesting in an Ilia Gruev cross, while 6ft 7in forward Lucca replied with a Forest debut goal in the 86th minute as he rose well to meet an Omari Hutchinson cross.
This was an important win, against one of our relegation rivals and to open a good points gap as well.
As I’ve been saying all season, we need to win our home matches.
Marching On Together.
League position 16th after 25 games.
I had my name read out on Magic Radio, as I answered a music question correctly.
