Medication, that's what you need

Well, thank you to my doctor's surgery for messing up my prescription. I went in to pick it up to be told I hadn't given one in. So I put in another, only to be told that I

"Hadn't properly filled out the request"

So more delays

I have been without my thyroxine for about a week and a half, just got my prescription yesterday. I am now on the long road to recovery.

After about three or four days my health has slipped, no energy, mood swings, agressive bursts, snarly comments. I had an argument with Rach that ended with me going for a drive around cannock chase at 11:30 at night.

Gah! Even my lithium didn't help (Of course, the lithium was what caused my thyroid to be buggered up in the first place!). What scared me the most was how much I slid backwards in such a short space of time. I'm finally back at work now, and almost wishing I hadn't bothered.

One of the video projectors has been stolen from out of one of the training rooms. My gues is that it was someone from this building, not an outsider. meh

anyways rant over, be well all

You can go to the chemist where you usually pick up your prescription and they will give you an emergency supply should this happen again. Unless you are on Armour or Liothynin which is a problem unless you have a Boots close by who are pretty good at ordering both quickly.
Personally I'd put in a complaint to the practice manager and explain just how desperate the need is not to have a break in taking your thyroxine.
As you've been off it a week don't jump straight on to your previous dose, start low and build up over a few days, its much safer that way you won't get the jitters and a mother of all headaches.
I've been a sufferer for 7 years and since I started on Armour I have got my life back, I'm writing to all the Endo's I have been to see over the last 7 years and tearing them off a strip for the way they've left me to suffer. Won't make any difference to them but it will make me feel better!!
