I am fed up turns out painkiller prescription was never sent to pharmacy. On tueaday we were told it wasn't ready and I wasn't bothered as I wasn't in pain but when partner checked back today they told him that they hadn't received a prescription. Chased GP surgery and turns out GP put in my notes he was going to prescribe the new dose but didnt press the button to send it and he isn't in until tomorrow.
So tonight could be rough as over-the-counter isn't
quite cutting it .
Oh no, Jen. That's not a good mistake to have made. Maybe some of Beckie's options would be do able. I have no other advice, sorry. I just hope things aren't going to be too terrible for you and you get the meds you need quickly.
Did you get your parcel, Beckie? How are you doing this evening?
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I did!
It was in the office *facepalm*
I'm ok. Feel better after a shower and changing clothes.
Though my head is back to feeling like it's in a washing machine.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Could be tricky getting it as an emergency as pharmacy have no record of me being prescribed it, same for 111. I think it could be even trickier as it is a controlled drug.
I am still in pain but with heat and over the counter it is just about bearable. Just going to try and ride it out and rest as much as possible
Hooray that you could shower and change into fresh clothes Beckie. I totally understood you not wanted to shower until you had fresh underwear I too would find it wrong.
I hope you manage to get through it.
I meant an emergency with the gp. If i forget to put my prescription request they'll fast track it through gp and pharmacy and you'll get it same day.
Yeah I'd still feel gross.
A male staff member opened the package with me. He was so embarrassed bless him XD

Jen, just mentioning this in case you find it useful, a combo of paracetamol and ibuprofene often works better/more effectively than just using one of them.
Hooray for shower and clean clothes, Beckie :D
Being stuck in silly hospitals makes you appreciate the small things more. Mostly because they are the only things to appreciate….. The rest is just pah!!!
Hi Lindsay, did your day improve?? I hope so!!!
I had a difficult day. Took prn late this afternoon but it took a couple of hours before the full sedation hit. I feel like i can't stand being in my body atm and if i could, i would crawl out of it. Sensory overload is a Daily thing right now.

I am managing just about. Heat packs are helping as its pain from muscle spasms. It's first time I have been on this dose so just have to wait for GP in morning. Where if I am lucky the pain will be gone anyway!

I am very much using both but in safe doses as recommended by box and GP..
Hope your tomorrow is better Zurg. The not wanting to be in your body sensation is horrible, I get it occassionally.

Bed is always a good plan. Although I am currently on sofa with a blanket

Sofa and blankets are also good plans!!
