I made a post weeks ago about all the trouble I've been having with my prescriptions, the doctors and pharmacists complaining that I'm costing the NHS too much money and trying to reduce the amount and quality of my meds, not on health grounds, but purely on cost grounds, and the detrimental effect it was having on my health. Also being bullied into taking contraception, which I don't want or need.

I received help on here writing a letter to the GP, trying to get them to stop bullying me over contraception and give me the meds I need in the quantities I need. I just heard back from them, and the letter worked! They will continue to prescribe my migraine meds without insisting I take contraception, they will increase my dose of my other med to daily instead of trying to fob me off with only 8 a month, and they will go back to giving me enough eczema treatment.

Thanks so much for the help!

I missed this but I'm glad you got it all sorted. Sometimes just talking to someone helpful and sympathetic is all you need to get priorities in order.
