Thank you for sharing this. I buy an annual prepayment card but as I don't work, it's an extrta expense we could really do without. It just seems unfair that there are some conditions where you get free prescriptions and some you don't (such as lupus and its friends!).

I also pay a pre paid prescription £104.00 per year I have COPD and need my inhalers I think it is unfair Wales and Scotland get free prescriptions.
