Curmudgeonly here, I went to the local doctor for a prescription check up, not that they do anything in a check up, ( beside the point) he said that soon they won’t be able to prescribe my painkillers anymore, must go to a consultant at the hospital, so that’s a 40 odd mile round trip, taking up a consultants time, so I’m weaning myself off of them. got down to just one a day, hardly moving for aches and pains, and feeling miserable.
I have stock piled a few so that I can do it gradually, I will just take large quantities of ibrufen and whatever else might work. Feeling grumpy, that’s not like me!

Hopefully once you get them prescribed by a consultant your GP should be able to organise them for you between consultant appointments (usually annually) ... that’s the way it’s supposed to work ... it’s to safeguard your health ... we don’t want to follow the USA down the painkiller addiction/death route do we 😧

As it's above ground surely just one man and a match should be able to find the leak.
Aye - that'll solve it! What a right royal pain in the h*le, Liri. What's your bet they'll manage to fix it just before they need to pay out compensation though....
My curmudgeonly grump today is charity bags. I have a sign on the door notfiying them that we do do not donate on the doorstep, yet they keep coming. I've emailed every company, telling them they're just contributing to landfill, and most have complied, but another one came yesterday. I'm not sure how much spare clothing/bedding/toys etc they think I have, but I'd need to start buying clothes to fill the amount that we get every other week.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I’m not going down to that hospital Dove, takes an hour to get there and another hour to find a parking space, then the wait, I’ll self medicate at my expense.

Lyn, that really is a PITA. Apologies if l missed it, but did your doctor explain the reasons why they have made this change? This sort of thing drives me mad, apart from the inconvenience to you, why is your doctor suddenly considered unable to prescribe them? Not a management descision l hope. I hope you find some way to deal with this.
