I started with terrible pains in my stomach on Saturday night and it was still raging through Sunday. It was making me lose my balance and I kept retching. Anyway my son came to stop with me overnight on Sunday because I felt that ruddy weak and dizzy with the continual retching. He phoned at 111 8-45pm last night and someone came to see me at 6am this morning. The doc who called prescibed some tablets for me and told me to take one or two as soon as my son collected them at 9 am this morning. I showed the chappie who came to see me the paper I always carry stating what ailments I suffer from including the medication for them. Anyway when my son brought the presciption I took one of the tablets as prescribed.
Later in the morning I sat reading the leaflet that comes with the tablets and saw that they were not supposed to be taken by anyone who has Epilepsy.
I have been on the phone to my surgery to find out for sure from one of the doctors there if I should carry on with them and been told to not take anymore the doctor at my surgery has prescribed different ones and they will let the pharmacist know, who will deliver them for me later today. Which they did
The best of this is the doc who called to see me from 111 came all the way from Market Harborough which is well over an hours ride away. He had been travelling all round and he must have felt done in himself but he still had two more patients to see scattered in the Midlands.
My mind boggles at the money being wasted.
