Thanks so much for that. I have written those med's down & will check em out. He is only on codene which I don't think helps, last visit to his Dr he told him about it & the Dr told him his only other option was morphine which he won't perscribe - personally I think I know more than that Dr!! He is still in pretty much recluse at the moment & in the past has tried to also isolate me - think it must be hard for him when I decide to go out etc... but he is always invited - yet never wants to mingle. I totally understand where he is coming from & why he gets this way, I guess I just get a bit frustrated at times when I feel that I am doing everything possible & yet hitting my head against a brick wall. When he comes round I'll definately attempt to get him on this site & msg'g you - you are a big help & I really do appreciate it. )
