That’s what I thought.

The GP’s argument was that if the specialist wants me to take a new medicine then he should prescribe it - that it’s not his responsibility (despite having a letter from said specialist asking him to give me the prescription).

He was a real arse about it too.

Depends what you call cheap I guess - they have a sale at the moment and a single is about £20

That sounds really frustrating, is there a solution? Also, can’t stress affect ulcerative colitis? So they shouldn’t really be doing anything to stress you? I’m similarly frustrated at the moment as I keep getting sent for scans and tests without anyone actually communicating the results or why they’re doing them in the first place. Just talk to me so I don’t end up on google!

Don’t know yet. I’m waiting for a response from the specialist to see if there’s any way of breaking the deadlock.

Yes. Today has not been helpful.

Oh shit, that sounds horribly stressful. I hope that you get to the bottom of it soon.

£20 would be just about right… but they do pillow cases separately so that is another £8. Bah, who charges extra for pillow cases? (Le Redoute, obviously)

Hope it gets sorted soon, your stuff too @laelfy :crossed_fingers:

That’s really odd. It’s pretty common practice for the specialist to ask the GP to do that (and they usually will unless there’s a good reason not to - e.g. if it will cause an adverse reaction to some other meds the patient is taking).

Fingers crossed for you. The gf has been on the cusp of a flare for a few weeks so they were already crossed for her too.

Yep, it’s never been an issue before. I have no idea what was going on earlier.

I respected the poll! Bought 1 and 2 (6 was sold out in a double).
