I did, when 111 eventually allowed me to speak to them, but because it’s a ‘specialist’ drug they aren’t qualified to prescribe it. They offered me tramadol which they said might have made it a little easier but I can’t take it as it’s contraindicated with lithium (and I had to tell them that 3 Times) but they couldn’t prescribe me anything else. I’ve been wrapped up in a knitted shawl, with a heat pad on my back, but I can barely move I’m in so much pain. I’ve had to resort to diazepam to help. Jess said I sounded ‘dead’

The pharmacy cocked up, I’ve found out, as the prescription was issued on the 6th but they didn’t tell me it was in.
