That's exactly where the pain was, right under where the ribs come together. Nowhere else.

good looks like its solved.. your valve gets tired with age apparently and doesnt seal properly. you eating late near bed time has set off the acid and its come out and burnt your tubes at that spot.

My first appointment was on the 26th March! so 6 months to get tested:lol:

Good grief, they obviously don't see it as time critical then. But if was something really serious you'd want to know asap whether it was worth starting a DVD box set :)

Oh Yesss:eek:

I have had long covid symptoms since feb, not had covid though, the onset was 5 days after my Pfizer booster.
AZ was administered for the first 2, not going anywhere near Pfizer or Moderna again unless I really have to.

Doctor from Livingston I presume :) Thanks for the info Grant, obviously still a bit rubbish to have, but at least I can go to bed reasonably confident about waking the next day!

Yes of course, but right now I have a more pressing concern: I've gone deaf in one ear! I wake each morning with my left ear completely blocked, and though it improves a bit when I'm up and about, I hear next to bugger all. And when my phone rings I can't so easily locate it. And music doesn't sound quite right - am I listening in mono?

Annoying that it's my left ear - my sitting position puts my stereo to my left and Anita to my right. Should be the other way round :(

Time for some earwax removal then. NHS don't seem to be arsed anymore, but there are plenty of private places, offering "micro suction" which is supposed to be better and safer. And they all seem to stay open quite late, which is handy. Prices average around £45 for one ear and £70 for two.

I'm the world's greatest at putting things off, but I think I'll make this a priority.

I had mine done by micro suction about 4 months ago. Used to have them done once a year at the surgery by the water pump method. I have Tinnitus that was made worse by Covid. I found the micro suction really loud and was concerned about it making my Tinnitus even worse but it doesn't seem to have. Very efficient cleaning method but mine was £70 for about 10 mins. Nice money if you can get it.
