“What is becoming clear in this extract from the UK’s supply chain of medicines is the sheer scale already affected by either physical shortages or price increases as a direct result of Brexit, currently expected at the end of October. The breadth of conditions the shortages these medicines apply to is very wide, covering all age groups and everything from birth control, diabetes and painkillers to antibiotics, Parkinson’s and cancer treatments.”

Hi guys
Following on from advice from the wonderful members on here, and checking advice from the Walton centre website about first visits, I decided to knuckle down with this symptom list. But I am getting nowhere as everything seems like I have made it too long and gone into too much detail. What is the best way to shorten it but make it be seen what is happening to me? I can remember when things have happened to me roughly but not sure on dates etc. Do I need to put dates in? I am okay with remembering roughly how long symptoms have lasted.
Thanks in advance
Morning Everybody,
I hope you all had a good weekend.
Visit to GP this morning to enquire about the drug 'Fampyra' which has now been licensed here in the UK and is supposed to aid walking and help with spasticity.
My mobility is pretty bad now, uncoordinated, slow and painful. So I thought I'd ask him.
Not surprisingly he hadn't heard of it, but has agreed to do some research and get costings etc. I gather it is pretty expensive so it will depend on whether our ailing NHS will fund it or not. I will keep you posted.
The muscle spasms are increasing so we agreed to increase the baclofen. The only other alternative he could offer was a tranquilizer. Im not keen to go down the tranquilizer path, so I will up my daily baclofen. Now 50mg per day.
Whilst I was there, I had him look at some sore and irritated skin on both my outer thighs which appeared a few weeks ago and won't go away. Apparently it's eczema!! Never ever had any skin problems whatsoever, so was a tad stunned! He also mentioned that eczema tends to be symmetrical which is why it's on both thighs, in the same place. I didn't know that. He's given me some steroid creams to use and it should be gone inside 2 weeks.
