    Mate I'm sorry to hear that, but you're making the right decision for your own personal wellbeing. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you manage to find something that alleviates your suffering, you're obviously a top bloke and don't deserve this. Thanks for all your hard work, I've learned a lot from your videos and you will be missed.

    Sorry to hear this. I suffer horrendous migraines and I completely understand what you mean about pain taking away your drive. I would absolutely encourage you to go private, get it sorted. Yes it costs money, and yes we're supposed to have a health service in the UK to cover it, but can you put a value on being pain free for the rest of your life? You've made the right decision for you and that's what counts. It's been wonderful to see your work over the years and I wish you all the best in your future ventures, and will remain subscribed in case you come back.

      100% When I suffered for 2 weeks of tension headache, I was lucky I had private medical care, so after going to the GP and them suggesting paracetamol, I got a referral to a private clinic, within 2 days I had an MRI and a consultation.

    I just recently found you channel and I have watched a lot of you videos. I have massive respect for you refusing the pills. It's the same situation here in America where I am from. Doctors rarely find the root cause and just shove pills down our throats. Good thing is you're definitely eating better food than us Americans. You could try and cut out certain foods. Ones with any Gluten, sugar, dairy. Wholistic doctors are the way to go. Good luck! Sending prayers

    I'm so sorry your in so much pain and that you can no longer give your all to your craft. Once you get to Canada, please go the the lower 48 where there are phenomenal pain management specialists that you don't need to wait long for. I pray for your recovery and good health and happiness.

    Sorry to hear this buddy. As a chronic pain sufferer of twenty plus years I feel what you're saying. I'm currently on para, codeine and pregabalin every day but I'm waiting for the pain management specialist. No rush mind as the conservatives don't worry about the side of the NHS no one sees. Fingers crossed for you 😊

    Vick have you seen a chiropractor.
    I had something similar, had the CT scan the lot, and I met a client that was a chiropractor and he sorted it out over several sessions.
    Maybe a thought before you go down private health road.
    Best of luck.

    NHS is useless, especially after the events of the last few years. They just say that waiting lists are too long and to go private.
    So sorry you're suffering. Hope you can find a solution or some way to help.

    Your health comes first little note of information , back home in Canada we have public health care also and the quality of service has also gone down long wait times etc , the only funding it gets is from the taxpayer , with the influx of migration , the strain on the system is just too much we use to get to see our GP in Newark without issue when we first moved here now good luck , in essence is this a Tory issue well maybe and maybe not, it's more demand cannot meet supply , and this is in both countries , I'm not a politician nor would I want to be one , not sure how you fix a public health care system depended solely on the public purse, and both countries are taxed to death , now we have Dr's striking , nurses etc , , this might not be everyone's cup of tea, we need Dr's we need Nurses , if their foreign born can I know in Canada if a surgery cannot be done patients are sent to Buffalo New York or other close US cities paid for by Provincial Health Services maybe that's something that could be looked at , if the NHS cannot provide immediate necessary treatment then that patient should be sent to a Private facility like in Ontario paid for by Provincial Health Services, I wish you well God Bless,

    Sorry to hear your news.
    It’s about time I left a message on here to tell you how amazing your videos have been for me. Your videos have taught me more than any other UA-cam video. You gave me the skills and confidence to do more and more guitar repair work for people around the Birmingham area. I have now had to put a stop to it for a while because I won’t have the time due to having a baby on the way.
    I can’t thank you enough for passing on your knowledge in a way that was clear and concise and also showed a respect for the guitar and the client. You never cut corners and always go the extra mile to complete the job. I really hope you get over your illness and you manage to carry on doing what you love.
    Thank you

    Sorry for you what you are going thrue! First I was thinking of suggesting trying acupunkture and or CBD-oil. But just started to try to follow Christ (again) I would feel like I detreyed a brother not suggesting this: Ask Jesus to lead you to a Church where they use their gifts and athority of things as sickness. It really should be any church,but sadly I don´t think there is many churches where God is today ,but there are Individuals that is true Christians that have and USES their gifts as tools for Jesus. I hope you get well soon what ever you do,and I hope that you get started in your shop and that youre back here to! God bless you!

      I've been going to church regularly for 11 years. I oversee men's ministry at my local church: I'm in the worship team and I am an Alpha team leader. I know I am healed by Jesus stripes and I know I am redeemed by His blood! But the fact is, I am still in pain every day and have been for 5 years. Thanks...

      @@FretFriendGWaL Sorry to hear that! Try finding a Christian that puts the hands on you when praying. Good kiropraktors can make wonders to,but guess that already been tested? And yes everyone wants to dig deep into your wallet. Hope you get free from that pain soon.
