Feckin furious about skinny jabs

[Enyastar]

Ive just told sn online practioner my BMI is 24.4..im 5ft 2 and weigh 9st 7 amd i want to lose 2 stone.
Gone through online consult and for £265 i can start my jabs.
Fuck me........

No. I understand perfectly. Op does not understand that prescribers take money then do the final checks to approve if they are registered pharmacies. There are published and very clear prescribing guidelines. US celebrities are completely irrelevant to prescribing practices in the uk.

Hmm.
”work in the health industry”
Suitably vague. Are you a pt or wellness person of some sort?
You certainly don’t sound like an actual medic to me.
I’m sure Eli Lily and Novo Nordisk are trembling in their boots.

Which provider, OP? One of the regulated ones? Or off the back of a lorry?

This is a very silly thread - you sound quite thick, tbh. GLP1 medication has its place for people who struggle with their weight, which you clearly do not. If people mis-use the medication, that is not different to people mis-using other prescription medication like painkillers or sleeping pills.

I don't understand why you are so shocked that some corrupt people will capitalise and piggyback onto anything that will make them money!?

You don't know what's actually in the jabs, the criminals running it won't give a fuck whether you're overweight or not, or if whatever they're selling you is real or kills you!

Get real OP, they just want your money so they'll tell you anything to get it.

Damn that’s annoying, I had to lie my ass off and I could have just been honest 😂

I was thinking exactly the same thing 😂

That’s what I assumed

Spending £265 of your own money just to be outraged on Mumsnet seems a bit... odd.

Yabu

I think she's losing business to the jabs

At the prescription s the age they will ask for photos and refuse you

I've just had my online consultation.
Yes i passed the threshold.
My jabs are 'in the post'.

Am i a sports journalist...yes i am.
Am i sending the video footage to both my local health authoriries and primary care provides..yes i am.
Do i hope this reaches national news outlets..o yes.

“Sports journalist” hmm.

@EnyastarWhat are these “local health authorities” of which you speak, and why would a “primary care provider” care about what an online pharmacy does??

Receipts or it didn’t happen #ragebait

Also if you are a journalist @Enyastar your proof readers/sub editors must do a lot of overtime

If you hope it reaches national news outlets why won’t you name the pharmacy on here? You keep avoiding the question and it makes the whole thing sound fake.

So you've lied about your height and weight and paid £265 for something you don't want or need?

What a muppet!!

Well if they're not overweight and they wanted to lose weight then that's their lookout imo. It's expensive and there can be side effects and you have to still put the work in. It would be much better if the NHS would keep an eye on the people using it. My gp is very supportive of me using it because my liver is not fatty anymore. My rheumatologist is supportive because of the improvements to my hypermobility issues and joint pain and mobility. My gynaecologist is supportive because of the improvements to my prolapse symptoms and incontinence means I have been discharged!
Despite all that, when I asked my gp surgery if they could monitor me because sometimes I get things that I'm not sure if they are just side effects of mj. I've been told no. I should just be monitored by medexpress apparently.

I think it's shit that it's been harder and harder to get on the NHS, but the answer is not to try and stop private prescribers.
You don't have a clue about what people are dealing with and why they choose what they choose.
We aren't trying to look like fckn Kelly and Sharon Osborne, which iswhat it feels like the general publics opinion is.
Just trying to get our health under control.

Are you a 'sports journalist' on your own youtube channel? 😂

I lied about nothing!
Kind of the point.

Have you actually had them sent to you?

Sooooooooo who prescribed you ?

we want to see evidence of the invoice an pen

no one charges £265 for 2.5

@Enyastar as a health professional you'll know that it's the GPhC that regulate pharmacies, and/or the CQC. Those are the bodies that you need to complain to, as well as telling the pharmacy that you are going to notify their regulatory bodies.

Weird because you usually pay at the ordering stage, before a pharmacist has even looked at your order and approved it or not.

No one did. A quick look on the monj website shows the prices and even with p&p there’s nowhere charging that much, most are under £200 for the 2.5mg before any discounts.
