Drugs, drugs, drugs!

And I’m sure it’s only going to end up with more but urgh what a butt ache.

Until last week I took:

Metfornin

Apixiban

Fluoxetine

Amlodipine

Ciproflaxin

Co-amilifruse

Empagliflozin

And hux d3 20000 (vitamin d).

Most of these prescribed by the specialists at the hospital.

Last week my hepatology consultant stopped the apixiban and prescribed timzaparin injections until they can get me a warfarin clinic.

Timzaparin is a bloody great injection once a day. When I had to take insulin it was easy cos it was in any epipen and you just changed the needle each time.

Timzaparin needle is about an inch long and you have to inject into a fatty part on your abdomen. It hurts and bruises and leaves me feeling knackered. I really hope the warfarin is in epipen form!

On top of all this every time I have to ask for a repeat prescription I have to call my gp and argue over what’s been prescribed because they can’t check the notes or blood results because they are Beds and Herts nhs and the Royal Free isn’t!

I know they are just doing their jobs but they really know how to make things more difficult unnecessarily!

Oh well another drain tomorrow….
