Long term medication

[Prepared Chick]

Hi Dorset Lad


Yes I take long term meds I always renew before its due, also I use inhalers for asthma and occassionally I do lie and say I have lost them - to get another prescription and have in stock in emergency.

I did ask GP to double up in the event of bank holidays etc so I could have an emergency supply, it was like pulling teeth and only 1 GP agreed to do it once - so you do have to be inventive.

Also there are many meds here that you have to get a prescription where you can simply get over the counter in other countries, particularly the usa. Any family that I have coming over I ask them to bring a supply of inhalers and painkillers so have an extra stock for emergency.

Natural remedy for high blood pressure is garlic - either natural - use VERY large amounts in your food I mean like an entire garlic head or two in every meal or buy high dose garlic pills which you can get from boots like 1000ml dose - also buy low sodium salt, not table salt and of course if you can vary your diet with more fruit and veg etc it will help.

I have never suffered from high blood pressure but my ex did he was on tablets and I got him the garlic pills and blood pressure started it started to go down. I love garlic and I use copious amounts in my food and all my life my blood pressure has been text book 120/80 - it never moves and I am in my 40's - so its worth a try.

I have a cousin coming over from USA in a couple weeks - If you like you can PM me the name of your med and dose and I will ask them if they can get it over the counter for you - if you don't think you can get an extra supply for emergencies from your GP
