Hi everyone , I hope you are not to bad today . I havent been on for ages due to broken computer but back now on my new one.
I went away on holiday a couple of weeks ago , we went to Scotland . While i was there i found out i had forgot one of my pills i take it twice a day but forgot to put it in my pills box for the afternoon.I take 10 pills a day so it takes some organizing .
I rang my doctors and asked them to fax a perscription to the chemist but was told they can't do that(I know they can ) I would have to sign on at a doctors in scotland . I went to the doctors and was told to come back the day after . The next day i went and saw the chemist in the town and they had a go at my doctors . They said it was mad having to sign on there . I then went back to the doctor in the town the receptionist also had a go at my doctors again the answer was no. So we had to come back in 2 hours to see there doctor , she was very nice and gave me 84 of the tablets and said my doctors where unreasnable .
I wasted 2 days of my holiday sorting it out , we where touring Scotland . My doctors seem to spend there time making my life hard work.
sorry about the rant but i needed to tell someone . .........jillyxx

Oh Jilly
What a mess.....and what a waste of your holiday
Of course your docs can fax them to the chemist....The only things they cant fax are controlled drugs.....eg Oromorph or something like that.....chemist wont accept a fax for those.
Are you thinking of changing docitrs when you get back?
Love

Jilly how frustrating for you, not being able to rely on your doctor for help with your tablets. I am glad you were sorted in the end.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday
