We are lucky here, our meds are dispenced from the village surgery, with a day's notice for repeat meds.

If desparate they will dispence the same day you request them.

Try asking for a 2 month supply Norma, they do that here. It's nonsense that you have this trouble all the time.

Still worth asking if you can get regular meds for two months.

To be honest Norma, that seems totally unacceptable. It just isn't right that regular repeat prescriptions should cause such issues. Especially as we get older. Have another go at then! At this rate your BP will be even higher with the stress!

Hopefully you still keep a check Norma.
