    Hi beanielou😼
    I ended up being like a detective . I phoned up another chemist in the area who have a good reputation apparently . They have loads in stock surprisingly . The lady I spoke to was fantastic , friendly and helpful. She sent a note to my surgery . I then got through to the receptionist at my surgery . I told her that I should bite the hand off of that pharmacy and collect . She told me the technician would get back to me , and talk about possible alternatives ! Still waiting ! The phone cut off . 
    My guess is that I'll have to go to that pharmacy to collect probably on Friday .
    If nothing is done rhen I'll phone 999 . I have nothing left . 
    I spoke to my friend who has been out on a few occasions and he said I'll be fine and that everyone is behaving and doing social distancing properly etc. He may have a point 
    Although there is lots of traffic , I see a lot of sensible people walking by. 
    The plan now is to transfer my prescription away from pharmacy 2 u and use this pharmacy instead . I don't blame pharmacy 2 u too much as they were trying to send everything together . They have posted the stuff they have today . 
    Only 1 problem so far this week , and in hindsight I should have phoned sooner .
    It doesn't pay to be nice all the time . 
    This time last week , the scum upstairs had another party . It'll be interesting to see what happens tonight ...

    I don't want you to take this in the wrong way but have you spoken to your GP about your mental health recently.
    You see4m to be struggling a bit more at the moment.
    Take care :)

    No offence taken . 
    It's another one of those situations imho where things are probably misinterpreted .
    I think the mistake I make is not letting things go , regarding the neighbours . 
    When I said I have nothing left , I was talking about that medication , and that if I haven't taken it for 3 days or more , I don't know the repercussions . That's why I'm in a state of panic . It Would be difficult to speak to my doctor at the moment for obvious reasons .
    Sure , lockdown does get me down from time to time and I've actually lost count of the weeks . 
    On the flip side of all this , I've had a good week where I've been doing exercising and recording music and stuff . 
    I try to be a strong willed person who only goes to the doctor if it's absolutely necessary
    Before I had mg , I hardly went to the doctors . 
    There are many people worse off ..

    Thanks Beanielou 😹

    I've had a strange 24 hrs , but am back to normal . 
    Last night I had a very high temperature . Not sweating . I know that everything is much hotter these days but I felt in a bad way for many hours . 
    However , around 8 am it all disappeared more or less . I did take the recycling out at 4 am 
    Im back to being calm again . I had a call from the surgery . Long story , but hopefully I can take a walk on Saturday and collect medicine from my chosen pharmacy. 
    No point panicking now but I'm hoping that this episode is over and I can move on..

    I received a call from work relations chap. He told me that I should have applied for p I p when I started the universal credit claim, but can see i was not told properly .
    He advised me to claim for the lower amount and that now that I have bern awarded LCW then he is confident I should get something . I'll do it , but not as confident as him .
    I was told to send copies of letters onto u c journal . I looked and there is no way , so I assume job coach will advise whenever.
    I was told to ask what is happening regarding possible comtributions for service charges and the LCW appeal verdict . I asked those questions in the journal of course .
    I'll leave it there ...

    Glad you have the meds sorted.
    Isn't it possible to have an emergency supply of the meds so if anything happens you are covered?
    You have a lot to be getting on with with your benefits. 
    Hope you are planning a relaxing evening :)

    AC if you are just walking then I think you will be OK without gloves as long as you don't touch anything - e.g. handrail.

    Be careful on your walk AC, choose a time when few people are about. 
    Enjoy it. I think it will do you good :)
