Hi,

I’ve recently been diagnosed with overactive thyroid, currently waiting for Carbimazole meds prescription to be delivered. I’ve had a bad few days recently with my usual symptoms, I was wondering if I should contact my advanced nurse practitioner at the hospital.

Hey there again -

I thought you had already started on the AT drug -

so yes - I think you should contact the hospital as to getting your prescription filled :

Well maybe phone the hospital pharmacy department to check it's gone -

and explain you haven't received them and getting anxious -

could your primary care doctor write an emergency script for you today - if you are able to collect it locally ?
