News: “David had a stroke which resulted in nerve damage. “He would normally get an infusion every five weeks at Wishaw General, but services were paused when the pandemic hit.“In the beginning we totally understood, but a lot of services and treatments have since resumed and chronic pain patients are being left in extreme pain.”Nan says the family have spent £3150 on getting David the treatment he so badly needs.As well as the financial cost, the process itself takes its toll on the family, embarking on a ten hour round trip.But with the lidocaine dissolving David’s pain immediately, it is worth it.Nan and David are supported in their appeal to have NHS Lanakrshire resume treatment by a cross-party group – something Nan appreciates, saying.
