Friday, 27 tablets.
Sunday 18 tablets.
Also 5 different lots of eye drops and creams.
Got to put drops in every 2 hours when awake.
130 a week now.1 -
Pre paid precriptions really help, I only pay £10.40p per month for 15 different types of prescriptions now that are all lifelong.1

Any advance on 134 ...plus three inhalers and a nebuliser??Looking at tablets makes me feel sick . Thank God we don,t pay for prescriptions in Scotland .Or bedroom tax ...plus families are now going to get an extra £10 per child per week hanks to the SNP ...does not sound a lot but two children and that's an extra £1000 a year.
Me ...well I,m still under the Westminster government when it comes to disability , I got forms to fill in for PIP 5 years ago , I have been on disability for 15 years and PIP for five years now 6 months off 65 and I get called for PIP2 ... whatever that is ? ( waiting on more forms ) .1 -
Something I explained to the PIP assessor was that I get tired from my illnesses and also my medications, and also the side effects of all my medications together !!
She had asked me why I thought I'd got so tired during the day.1 -
27 tablets a day, 4 liquids (1 4x a day)
189 tablets a week...28 liquids....jesus! To think it used to be more! I dread to think how much my prescriptions would cost if I didn't have the exemption card!
Blimey, that really has shocked me!

Even more of a shock if you add them up over a year !!2
-
Oh god, don't! ? now I'm tempted to check it on the calculator!2
-
9828 tablets a year...2
-
And the assessors wonder why we get tired and fatigued !!2

Aww, c'mon guys, ointments, creams, lotions, inhalers and nebulisers is cheating.What about Warfarin - 4 prescriptions of 0.5mg, 1mg, 3mg and 5mg (or combinations of) to make up a single dose.?!? Glad I'm on Rivaroxaban now - at least that doesn't need monitoring, I have very shy veins.@KG100 Side effects - don't talk to me about Metfartin.

Oh, PIP, never claimed it as I always thought it was for the severely disabled, but just been informed by CAB that I should have claimed it years ago and have probably lost about £15k plus for not doing so.

Sure , if I did not have my inhalers and nebuliser then I would not need the other medication ....as I would be dead ???2

My veins have shrunk over the last few years from all the blood tests and things, they now sometimes take it from my hands which I hate !!0

not on as many meds as most, but take 4 in am and 4 in pm. also get creams and special wash and pads on script, oh and wee bags, plus catheter kits....all this would add up to a huge amount of money...one good thing about being over 60!0
