Just frustrated. About 2 or so weeks I was told by my pharmacist I need to change my medication, from Symbicort to something else. The reason is that I get recurring oral thrush. Every few weeks it restarts. I deal with it quickly and simply by using oral Daktarin for a few days each time and that deals with it. But now I am told it is not a good idea, that as I am prone I should instead be on a medication with which I can use a spacer. (Eat your heart out BBC!)
Anyway, i was unsure whether to go the gp route or an nurse route, and was advised by the switch board that talking to the in-house pharmacist would be best. As this was not urgent - I am not ill etc - it seemed a great idea. I had no idea there was such a person! So a telephone appt was made for last Monday, but a couple of days before ‘they’ cancelled and changed it to coming Friday. Now that has also been cancelled and changed to 20/12.
I know full well that it is fine really, though I just want to get on with it.
Has anyone else had this issue, recurring thrush, with dry powder inhalers?
