Is this becoming ridiculous or is it just happening to me?

Have been on MJ for a year, now maintenance. Never had any problems but for this order my prescriber is asking for more and more shots with “close fitting” clothes. We are on the fourth round now. I have had to buy a new top, too close fitting for my liking, just to wear it for 1 minute and take a picture!

It's often used as a delaying tactic when they're out of stock. Just go somewhere else, if you're genuinely eligible then another prescriber will be happy to take you on, there's plenty of them. You're free to go wherever you want as long as you can prove your previous prescription and you're within the bmi that they have as a guideline for continuing with the drug or for maintenance. Do a bit of googling to find one it's relatively easy.

I wear my (knee-length) swimming costume. Have not yet had any provider ask for further pictures. (They are probably all too busy bleaching their eyeballs!)

Swimming costume for me, right from the start. Never had a problem. Don't give a shit who sees my big wobbly thighs and arse 😅

Nurse here. I get the difficulty in taking a picture of yourself and sending it to an unknown person. But, you wouldn't expect your GP to prescribe you meds without checking you really need them. Same here. As intrusive and hard as it is, it is to keep you safe and keep them in business.

Lots of good advice here. Sometimes you just gotta make a choice to do what's asked or not. I wish you well.

I sent one of me in a vest top and knickers. I don't own any skin tight clothing, never even owned a pair of leggings.

If it’s med express they have form for this
