Giok,
Thankyou for that info. The ulcers did not show on the test so when I get back to England I have to arrange to have a scan. Yes I have suffered from reflux for some time now. The medication seems to be working, but Im not allowed any alchahol!! :-(

The thing that happened was that I brough up lots of bright red blood and smothered the bedding in it. A doctor was called who admitted me into hospital. (Not a pleasant experience!)

Maderia is a beautiful island, be prepared for lots of hills, in May it will be very hot!
