I have asthma which is mostly triggered by allergies.
Every year from about March to September I take a nasal antihistamine. This is prescribed after trying various over the counter antihistamines and a couple of prescription ones. This one seems to be the only one that is really effective.
I still had a bottle left from last year so started using that in March but it was running out. Knowing it would likely run out over the bank holiday I called the prescription clerk at the gp to order a repeat on Monday last week (it takes 3 days). I went to the pharmacy yesterday to pick it up and it's not there.
I called the gp surgery who said it had been sent to the doctor on Monday but not actioned as it's not on my repeat medication list.
I explained that I've always had it on repeat and she said that as I've not had it since September it has been removed from my repeat list.
The receptionist was very helpful and said she would take it up with the gp on Tuesday.
I bought some clarityn to try and take the edge off, but I feel lousy. I feel stuffy and tight chested and just generally shit on the nicest weekend we have had.
I just feel that all this could have been avoided if someone had called me to let me know about the problem with my prescription so I could try and fix it but no one did and now here I am feeling wheezy and sorry for myself.
