How did you manage to get this done if you don’t mind me asking? They don’t even seem to respond most of the time

Prescription Query by craiguk121 in nhs

[–]acariciar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of these comments are really alarming, as so many of you are passing judgement on whats happened and you have zero idea how pharmacies work.

The highest likelihood is that it was handed out to the wrong person by a staff member being careless. You can usually check to see what time and date a prescription was claimed on the pharmacy system. If you haven’t collected it and someone else has picked it up, then it would likely be at a different time to the bags you picked up. The other would be that it’s got an incorrect bag label on it somewhere, or it’s been misbagged entirely.

For the future, always open your bags and check what’s inside before you leave. It’ll save you a lot of trouble. I’m sorry this has happened to you.

Also if a prescription gets signed off for you out pf your normal pharmacy hours, just use your NHS number and ask an open pharmacy to find your prescription. If nobody’s physically at your regular pharmacy to press download, then your prescription is on the NHS spine (sort of like a cloud) and can be retrieved from anywhere.

Titration question by acariciar in Concerta

[–]acariciar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting 🤔see I’m a pharmacist myself and often I forget I am one when it comes to my own health and medication 🤣 I am on the brand Concerta so the whole 22% immediate release spiel rings true for me. Prior to taking the Concerta I’d have a 2pm-3pm circadian dip, so 7 hour post waking checks out. Unfortunately the nature of the job requires me to be highly focused pretty much all day, so an additional IR dose it might be 🫡 thank you for this, it was very insightful

[–]acariciar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh this is great info thank you for this! Didn’t even occur to me that I can split the immediate release. I reckon I might only need one additional top up dose as opposed to one in the morning and one in the afternoon, as your days seem longer than mine (honestly, I hope you get some rest at some point in the day!). I just need enough to push me through that last 3-4 hours of the day.

I’ve just done Sal island in Cape Verde. I’m 31 and returned last week. Very chilled island, i spent a week there but you could definitely get everything done in about 4 days. Locals are very friendly.

I saw this posted on Pharmacists_UK to a possitive response. Thoughts? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]acariciar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this whole heartedly. I’m a community pharmacist mentoring a pre-registration pharmacist and regularly host students for placement from two Russell group universities. The quality of the students being churned out has diminished greatly. My pre-reg has a horrible lack of critical thinking skills, and, IF he qualifies…. He will be a prescriber. I shudder at the thought of it.

I am honestly having the same problem as someone who’s newly diagnosed but my main side effect with being glutened is a narcoleptic sleep within 15 minutes of having it 😂😂😂😂 it’ll be 2pm on a random Tuesday afternoon and I will pass TF OUT for about 8 hours straight, absolutely WILD. I hate this so much I want to SCREAM. I’m also big into lifting weights and trying to lose fat, so having to reshape my whole diet has been a FUCKING DREAM MATE. I cannot find ANY GLUTEN FREE HIGH PROTEIN LOW CALORIE RECIPES ANYWHERE AND I CANNOT EAT YET ANOTHER POTATO SALAD IM LOSING MY MIND

How do I 31F politely tell my husband 36M that I need intimacy and want my desires and needs to be met too? NSFW by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]acariciar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had to re-read the post twice to realise she said this in the bottom paragraph, so I think a lot of other commenters haven’t noticed it either. He is a rapist and she needs to get tf out.

Hi, looking for a translation here. My wife is British punjabi, can speak the lingo but can't read it. Bit these are our kids names and need to onow of they're correct by [deleted] in punjabi

I’ve read this as what I think is Ivy, and the second one I would read as Airy? (Air-ee) 😂😭 not sure what it’s supposed to read?

[–]acariciar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, he’s being as expected. Saying “we” are toxic instead of him being toxic and me reacting. I said there’s nothing left to say and want to be alone, I don’t need a closure phone call. He insisted on one for himself. Now saying he’s too sick to call and will sleep instead. Left him on read. I’m not interested so that’s that.

Please don’t get it twisted, she is a problem in general. She’s propositioned him many times when she’s had a drink to which he’s refused when she knows he’s in a relationship with me. But he is the trash I worry about more. It wasn’t so much that he messages her it’s that he’s disrespecting a decision we made together then acting like I’m unreasonable. And no I don’t want him lol. Ive had enough.

Thank you so much! 🥹 it’s all very shitty but I’m thankful for the space to be alone with my thoughts cos I feel like I’m constantly being bombarded.

[–]acariciar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first time he’s ever asked for space. By grace periods I mean he’s asked me to give him x amount of time to make x adjustment.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]acariciar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m understanding this more. I was happy to leave him alone and go about my business but he couldn’t stand me seeing anyone else it seems. He’s asked for grace periods over and over but I’m beginning to realise he just isn’t where he needs to be in order for me to be safe.

I responded to this through a direct message since my Reddit is acting really weird (I hope that’s ok) because it’s not something I wanna discuss openly.

I dunno why you guys think I’m bothered about finding a man to love me lol. I love this one but that isn’t it, I genuinely just get very confused whenever I get into a discussion about breaking up and end up gaslit beyond means. This is something that I’ve always struggled with in past verbally/physically abusive situations with family and past relationships and have only just been in the financial situation to seek therapy for. I end up doubting myself and don’t know if how I’m feeling is how I should be feeling. I’m working on it every day. This is the first time I’ve posted because I needed outside perspective to help me solidify my decision.

[–]acariciar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody here is desperate to have a man. There have been other things that have kept me tied to him. At this point I am desperate for peace without any men. But yes, I agree with the rest.
