Was at the Doctors on Friday getting antibiotics, as well as the money I have just spent on the Tramodol, means I am spending ALOT! Luckily I discovered a pre-payment certificate which means I am spending £102 a year rather than £400. ;)
I am still really poorly though, and my skin itches from the Tramadol.
I was chatting ot my friend Lita on the phone ( I miss her but we are gona meet up soon!) I had to cut it short cos I nearly threw up!
Can't wait for this infection t go, the new painkillers are working wonders for me :D
Loves and hugs to all xxxx
How to save money on Prescriptions: Get a recepit FP57 if you are unsure if you qualify for help with costs.
Send off for a HC1 form you maybe entitled to even a small discount

And if you buy more than 3 items in 3 months it is worth getting a Pre-Pay Certificate. (I have just saved £324)
Check out this link http://www.ppa.org.uk/ppa/hwhc.htm
To see if you can get FREE prescriptions
If you are unsure apply anyway, but always get your FP57.

The cost of medication
I got a really sore throat today, means I got to go back the Doctors cos the lozengers, (tasty as they are) aren't working. I was there today, sorting out more pain relief, got more pills for period pain but it's good news, my Dr said I can take my contraceptive pill non stop for 3 months which means no more periods during that period. Which means less pain for me and less cost in painkillers.
My doseage goes up when I get my period, my Dr said that woman with FMS tend to have bad periods (reasons unknown!!!)
I am so worried about the cost of the pills, it's £7.10 for a prescription, my list of Medication is now:
A month:
Trazodone
Diclofenac
Lyrica
Co-codamol
total: £28.40
3 months:
2 inhalers
Pill (it's free until I am 25!)
New anti inflams
total £21.30
A yearly total of: £426
(Correct it if it's wrong)
I have applied to see what help we can get, we get a little, but not with prescriptions even though I don't work and we are on a low income.
Hopefully it will be sorted, hopefully I don't have to fight with the DLA over how my body works. Hopefully I get the middle/higher rate I deserve.
For those who have physically spent time with me know that I really struggle, I walk at a snails pace even with Letty (my walking stick) I rub all my painful parts, parts of me just "go". I can't stay out for long (nowhere seems to have comfortable seating!). I have to sit down regularly. I get dizzy, I wobble and almost fall over! So send me your "good lucks" I need 'em!
Hugs for my 2 readers!
