LOL! You do know you can take paracetomol AND ibuprofen Helen, don't you? I can even take my solpadol (paracetomol and codeine) and ibuprofen when I need to. Advil is the US equivalent of ibuprofen and I take 'Advil PM' which also has a 'sleep aid'--good when I need it!
To be honest, don't think biopsy/results are gonna make much difference to me, so can live happily without the additional pain til January!
Can't you just ring every day Helen and annoy them? I was once told that if you keep ringing consultant's secretary, they get fed up eventually and DO somethin!!!
