Welcome. As much as I want to say huzzah. A part of me is concerned that we dont know you from adam, so any advice you are giving in regards to medication interactions etc could be incorrect.

I don't want to appear unwelcoming at all but it would not be the proper thing to advise people on medication unless you have actually approached the owner of this site by private message..can I ask have you done this please?

If not I would suggest that you wait until you know whether you have permission to advise as any erroneous information given here could cause serious problems for forum users and the site owner.

I agree with Ladybird and Vixxy.
Yusuf - Somehow I am not sure your employer would be too happy with you coming onto this forum & being so open and for offering to give out advice, especially regarding medications!?
You could be anyone...
I for one am very wary..
Just my opinion....

Hi
I am not being rude - I am giving my opinion.

[debs71]

Hi Yusuf and welcome too.

I'm a bit perplexed as I have been offering medical type advice on here and nobody has challenged me or shot me down that I may not actually be a nurse!! (I am incidentally and can give my NMC number by PM should anyone be worried, lol)

I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, after all, advice is only a risk if you act on it, isn't it, and if you are in doubt...don't!

Hi Yusuf - Welcome! :welcome::yesyes: :D

[Jaco45er]

Poppy with the greatest of respect, there is a mechanism for flagging posts/threads that you feel are suspect.

Giving "opinions" against other users always ends in tears, I am sure you understand :)

[Going home]

I would really welcome being able to talk to someone about my medication sometimes as my doctor seems to be as ignorant as I am about it to be honest, and I never seem to get the answers I need, so its great that someone can advise us here, after all there are usually lots of threads from people anxious about their meds.

Anna xx :)

Yusuf - I am very sorry if I have offended you. I was a bit concerned about your postings, however I can now see the error of my ways and I would like to offer you a Warm Welcome and look forward to all help that you may be able to offer the site.
