nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england

Highlights from this day
- meal_prep_mick — the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee, someone check my working 14:35
- chlorhex — border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door 15:25
- vacuum_vic — ok so ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect 16:18
- chlorhex — the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing, ask me again in a month 16:21
- chlorhex — a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it, not advice obviously 16:42
follow up i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee, someone check my working
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
i paid £55 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
supply was upstream

coming back to this does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
