I have access to a free phone GP service through work (non NHS). They put the prescription through to a pharmacy who then deliver the medicine to your door.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis via surgery four years ago and have been taking the POP continuously since then to manage it.
I’m trying to avoid going near health care settings at the moment to avoid getting sick.
I asked for 3 months supply of the POP and the GP was reluctant to prescribe over the phone. She kept trying to manipulate me into going to my local practice - “You know you can get it for free on the NHS!” Etc.
I explained that I think it’s worth paying at the moment, I’ve been taking it safely for 3+ years, I would just prefer to not go near a GP surgery at the moment. She said she’d give me three months worth. I paid £16 including delivery, all fine.
Until it arrived and it was only 28 fucking days worth!!!!
Had such a serious rage when it arrived - I just feel so undermined. And furious that I’m now going to have to go through the whole process again so soon. I’m young and fit, have been taking it for years, the medicine’s been around for 30+ years. I just don’t believe this would happen to men.
AIBU to be furious?
