Emergency pred update

[artisam]

Ha! That was easie than I thought. 111 online find th pharmacy nearest to you, send a request to them and Bingo job done. Isn’t that wonderful?

Thank you for your replies - next time I’ll make sure I take way more than I think I need with me, I’m old enough to know better🙄

I posted a bit back about this - I took everything with me except the pred when I left one daughter where I was staying to go to the other for a funeral!! Never done it before, I usually stop half a mile down the road to check I have all my medications!!!!

So when I realised, I went to Boots and spoke to the pharmacist who happily agreed with me it was too risky and dispensed a week's emergency supply. He even apologised for the fact Boots CHARGE for this so I gathered that other pharmacies probably don't when you are over 60!! But that is the new Boots for you - I usually avoid them like the plague but we were in a strange place and the retail park was opposite the hotel.

And yes - ALWAYS take at least double what you think you will need and I take full packs of everything if I am going to be more than a few miles from "home", whether at home or away.

Oh I've learnt my lesson big time. Ridiculous because I have accumulated tons of the stuff.Still all sorted now and a big recommendation for 111 online for anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation.

May sure you work through the stuff according to date then!!! Maybe you could sell it on ebay ...

Isn't it just. You start the day with a problem, a short while later it's solved. Magic!
