Just getting around to ensuring I hadn't missed any later responses to my thread and wanted to than you Daisy! I am going to double check the whole thing if I can ever get the state funding body to fund the replacement and failing that, afford it myself.
I will also buy another heavier oil as was recommended above. I'm also wondering if the oregano oil, just one drop at the moment but have been higher, is doing anything much. I'm on so many different treatments that it can get confusing.
Thanks everyone for your comments on my situation. :)
