My 5 month old is on neocate, lactulose and omeprazole for milk allergy constipation and reflux. He is very allergic, I accidentally reintroduced Alimentum (the first allergy milk) and he reacted. His consultant says he cannot have any dairy until he is at least 2.
My doctors only give me enough neocate for 3-4 weeks. Every time I need more, I have to make an appointment. It's really hard to get a doctors appointment, I have to take him into the surgery where there's ill people spreading germs and take up an appointment, wasting everyone's time.
I've asked for it to be put on repeat and told "no because it's expensive" "the hospital should prescribe it". But it's obviously more expensive to have me keep booking appointments for it! The hospital won't prescribe it they write to the GP.
AIBU to think this is a bloody joke? It has to be ordered in so I have to guess when it'll run out, attempt to book an appointment and usually can't get one when I need it and if it's too early they question why I need it, order it at a pharmacy and wait until it's in, by which time if my son decides he's really hungry we almost run out.
