Managing my own care at this point
I was signed off sick from work and my GP was unable to prescribe for me as he wanted a specialist review. 6 months later, I finally got an assessment and diagnosis. Agreed to start my medication in Sept following some tests. It took weeks of calls and I finally started in October. First prescription was wrong. Called had it changed. Had my Bloods at the Barberry and the Phlebotomist accidentally took the whole cap tube, so had to take it again. 2nd prescription and review of Bloods never done, I had to call and tell them I had run out. Then was asked to come to the centre to collect it at 4pm. 3rd prescription told to up my dose and come for Bloods, waited 30m in boots only to be told the script is wrong again. I am constantly having to chase and feel like such a pain. But if I did not, I would be left without medication and without monitoring.
