Update π Well well well. l had my telephone conversation with my GP today then it continued into a face to face appointment Result π GP took on board everything I had to say all info research ( advice ) I received from the lovely people on this forum on the way forward to deal with this med issue & googles help also a breakdown of my condition over the last few years & the constant decline health wise since October he sat listening but looking at his computer I was calm but strong (don't know how ) because I'm absolutely drained & zapped mentaly physically & bodily
He looked up at me & said what's the name of the brand you want i had 2 empty old brand names boxes with me i took out the Pfizer zithromax box ( in for a penny n all that ) he said i will change it to this brand for your next repeat due date omg the relief i felt
I couldn't have done this without the help from you all on this forum you gave me the strength & confidence π

Thank you Sheila π you take care too lovely ladyKeep a diary of how you go on health wise when reverting back to the brand that makes you feel well & the brands that don't work as well for you looking back over mine speaks volumes
Thank you PaulineHMCould not have done it without the massive help from this brilliant forum & the knowledge I gained from the members in it I will be forever grateful π best wishes for 2025 π
Congratulations! Well done for being firm under pressure - it worked!
My response also worked - I'm back to the omeprazole tablets after the Pharmacy Team reviewed my webmail message.
Hopefully other site users will take the message from our successes. If your surgery makes a prescription change without involving you, and it affects your health, politely but firmly insist on a return to the medication that worked.
Thank you Ergendl good news for you too π & yes that can be a possibility but I will definitely challenge in the future & keep doing my health diary as proof on going forward best wishes to you & your health π
Gosh! Very well done. You've inspired me not be give in to wimpish moments. I hope you feel better in yourself now, and that this will be the beginning of better things. xxx
Thank you Alberta56 & for you too π it was exhausting & mentally draining cannot say different but i was anyway so had nothing more to lose wishing you a happy healthy 2025 π
This is such good news daisy322 and am pleased you got back to the meds that work for you. Well done for standing up for yourself, very hard in today's world x
Well done Daisy. My personal view is that sometimes GPs actually prefer it if you've researched your own health condition and come up with a solution. They have so little time and they're not experts in lung conditions like us!
Thank you CoughingallthewayI have brought this issue up in other yrs gone by with my gp ( granted not for a while ) but were told the genetics was no different to the branded & told its all in my head (not good) but then I had been receiving the original brand i was giving when first diagnosed the difference it made was astonishing then back to a different type health declined again & so on it went I had been constantly poorly since beginning of October having to have different antibiotics & steroids every couple of weeks upto date until I couldn't take anymore hence seeking desperate help from a lot of lovely people on this forum & armed with all my notes I finally feel I've been listened too i probably just didn't know the correct way or maybe the fear of been dismissed again I don't know .
Thank you once again ive found people here very helpful kind & certainly caring π
Thank you telephonejunkie i couldn't have done it without you & your knowledge behind me i just hope & pray my pharmacy can get it for me without them saying carnt get it I'm going to ring around a few more pharmacys on Monday just to cover myself i will totally relax once the meds are here with me at homeBest wishes( my breath of fresh air)
