vivdunstan | Repeat prescriptions

Thought I should order in some more repeat prescriptions. Checked my spreadsheet, and the online ordering record. And then ordered 12 different drugs. Eek! I currently have 16 things on my repeat prescription, which is quite a drop from in the past. That's why I need a spreadsheet though! With this many things, all running out at different times, it makes sense to order them in together when convenient. As a Scot I don't have to pay anything at all for my repeat prescriptions, not even a prepayment certificate. I am phenomenally grateful to the NHS for supplying me with these vital medicines, for 22 years now. A mix of drugs, some controlling my auto immune neurological disease (especially steroids and another immunosuppression drug), some to help with symptoms I have (e.g. bladder incontinence), some to help with things I've developed from the disease (e.g. osteoporosis and generalised anxiety disorder), and some to help with side effects of the other drugs (e.g. nausea and diarrhoea). But all gratefully received, and very much appreciated. I dread to think how I'd manage in a different non public health system. Thank goodness for the NHS.
