Have a fever, sore throat, headache - caught from my toddler who I’m still breastfeeding.
It’s bad enough that - feeling so shit- I can’t take magic syrups etc. But hey my choice.
Went down to my local CHAIN pharmacy to restock my paracetamol and ibuprofen supply. Still feeling like total crap.
Pharmacist refuses to sell me ibuprofen. Tells me that it’s illegal. I protest that the hospital gave me bucket loads of the stuff. But he said I had to go get a prescription...
I said - well you know what - I’m going to
Take some anyway because we are out of it and my husband might need some. He refuses to sell it.
I feel totally infantilised, patronised - can’t be trusted with basic household Medicine because I’m still breastfeeding?
And btw...
