Jims journey on Skilarence

[jiml]

Well I was too premature starting this thread ...but I was excited at the prospect of starting skilarence

So the story so far
Dermatology meeting last tuesday the dermatologist was running over an hour late
Sat down and told her nothing has changed  she had a look and agreed I was virtually clear

She went and saw the consultant came back and announced that they were going to switch me to Skilarence

Wrote a prescription and told me to get Skilarence from my GP

Found out when I tried to collect tablets that they can't be dispensed by a GP only by hospital the doctor told me it was red flagged on the computer

Had a weekend without tablets as the NHS is asleep at weekends

Monday couldn't get through but today managed to get sense from a dermatologists secretary

She managed to get a prescription for me to collect today

Collected and took to pharmacy sat 30 minutes waiting for it to be filled
Got a call and she stood holding fumaderm tablets

I said the dermatologist wants me on skilarence not those ...the pharmacist said we keep fumaderm here for you and we don't have skilarence

And gave me two weeks supply of fumaderm telling me she would get on to dermatology and get it sorted before the box of fumaderm runs out

Talk about p*ss*ps and breweries
You would think the dermatologists would check to see what the pharmacy actually have in stock and tell them if I'm the only one on fumaderm to run them out with me and then switch when they are out of stock of fumaderm

I despair 
Rant over
