I have just phoned up for a repeat prescription to my local chemist and had to order 10 different meds for myself, 8 different tablets and two inhalers.
I can just visualise all the ruddy tablets trying to go in the right direction to do what they have to do. :roll:
Mind you having said that I am EXTREMELY lucky compared to some poor folk.

It would be very costly if I had to pay for the meds myself.

My sister Bev has Sarcoidosis,(grows lumps on the internal organs) and breathing problems and joint pains. she is only 50 and has to take 28 tablets a day to be able to live. She still goes to work every day even tough some days it is a struggle.

Hazey, I had Sarcoidosis when I was in my early 20s. Apparently it can take many forms - mine was like pneumonia which instead of reaching a crisis and then getting better, just steadily got worse. I was given prednisone for just over a year and then gradually weaned off it. Thankfully I have had no problems since.

Maisie, can you have the tablets made up into daily doses to make it easier to keep track of them ?

No Lacey they dont do that sort of thing here.
You just have a months supply and have to make sure that you can remember when and what you have taken. :huffin:

That's a pity, it would have saved a lot of messing around and made it much easier for you.

Have you got those wee tray things with the days marked on them Maisie?
