Look into whatever you consume or live within which might cause this condition. It can be anything from a dietary issue, immune condition...or even electromagnetic radiation where you sleep. Or a combination of things...but don't let them take away your valuable pieces. Please. You're better to us whole.

Don't worry I won't let them just whip it out. Believe me I will explore all and every eventuality before I let them get the knives out. I am, as you know, ever grateful for the free medical care we get in this country but it does carry risks - not least of which is infection. I've worked in this system and so I know. That said, no alternative therapies are available on the National Health Service and so one must go privately and pay for such things here. They are very expensive and so any holistic type of treatment I might try would be something that I would have to research and sort out for myself. There are trust issues too in this country. Sadly there is no regulation of alternative therapies here and so you can all too easily end up going to someone who is a total charlatan. So we'll see what happens but don't worry I won't let them have anything that belongs to me unless I absolutely have to! And thanks for you concern and advice too. Will let you know.
