Many thanks all again for your replies. With having serious health problems I do have to have regular check ups at the doctors. So thanks Almendra but can rule out thyroid problem. Also Ebrovoice didn't know about the diabetes connection ( you learn something everyday on the health section ) the natural remedies are always very helpful as I have to take enough pills and potions. As for you PlanesPete your tuppence is always welcomed but be careful you don't end up with Portugal's debt. Got to be careful with the salt but t'other half found that by increasing his water intake does help with headaches and dizziness. He states that by lowering the tonic and increasing the gin does help cure cramp ( I would not take this statement serious as he has never suffered from cramp. ) Bulldog.
