Wee pupdate, it’s Crumble!
I can’t believe they’re 13 weeks old, they’ve been away for 5 weeksAwwww is she for me? what a beauty
Morning, so when I was in hospital I saw pain management, they prescribed gabapentin and told me to take 1 3 times a day for 2-3 days then add another to it until I’m on up to 4 three times a day. I told her my gp wouldn’t agree to this as I was on it before and she just completely stopped my prescription and I had withdrawal symptoms. So after checking my discharge letter it says 1 3 times a day phoned gp on Friday and she called me this morning and said she won’t prescribe more than 1 3 times a day. Told me to phone pain management to sort it. I’m going round in circles trying to speak to someone and getting nowhere. I’m in so much pain atm but I’m doing the increase slowly as advised. I’m so frustrated
Sadly consultants can only request a GP prescribe medication, a GP doesn’t have to, which beggars belief and really makes you wonder why they even send you to a specialist.That’s crazy. I swear some gps can be a night mardy fers. If you’re not under a consultant, try and get your gp to refer you as well. I’m under trauma and orthopaedic. Like you I’m on gabapentin but it doesn’t really work for me anymore. I’m getting a nerve block injection next week. Which I’m praying gives some relief.
It’s mad isn’t it. And don’t get me wrong I’m thankful for the nhs. But some of these gps can be really arsey.Sadly consultants can only request a GP prescribe medication, a GP doesn’t have to, which beggars belief and really makes you wonder why they even send you to a specialist.
I hope you get sorted, those tablets if you miss a dose for a few hrs you end up with withdrawals. Chemist just been on phone to say can't get my 20mg tablets but can get 10mg. She's going to email my doctors, she said they may say no to the 10mg as they cost more then the 20mg!!That’s crazy. I swear some gps can be a night mardy fers.
