No idea, but perhaps prioritising your health might be the most important thing in the short medium and long term. Other things really can wait.

Hi if you have a good relationship with the GP he or she may be able to send a script to your closest pharmacy. I am on Bupranorphine patches for chronic pain and need to see my GP every fortnight for a script. He has told me that if he or I am on vacation this is what he can do. However I am in Australia so don't know if this would be acceptable where you are but I think its worth a try.

I think it depends on you're relationship with you're doctor, whether the doctor is very familiar with you're condition or not. The doctor may give you a script for a few months if it is not necessary for you to have a check up within that time. I wish you all the best

This is a difficult question for non-medical people to answer for you.

Can you find a doctor to visit where you are living and working at the moment? Even if you have to pay for an appointment it would be worth it to get blood tests done and a new prescription if necessary. If you just stop and go without the meds it could make you sick.

I think you might need to contact the person who prescribed your carbimazole - either by phone or by email and see what they say.

Do your employers not have some sort of health care arrangements for people who are sick?

If you employers are based in the U.K. and have regular contact with their workers would you be able to arrange with whoever prescribed your carbimazole to have it sent out to you via your employer or could a relative collect it and post it out to you? It’s a bit complicated isn’t it. When is your next leave?
