sorryto hear that Ann.. i had IBS for a few years then is just seemed to vanish after i had the kids... oh.. that and a change to my diet.. ie knocking all the rubbish out and eating more healthily lol

How are you today hun Hope you are feeling better Jax xx

Em I am also on Fluoxetine - but, I do have a sensitive gut - suffered with IBS for years :O(

Hi Gaynor, i too am on Diclofenac and tramadol permanently, ( also fluoxetine and paracetamol) but thankfully have never had any probs with them apart from tramadol makes me itchy at night... no probs with diclofenac.. must have the stomach of an elephant ,e! lol

I am on Tramadol and Diclofenac permanently - can't manage with out them... The Diclofenac made me sick and even bring up blood (good for losing weight but not so healthy) so I went back to the Dr. I now take Diclofenac with Misoprostol in them. The Misoprostol protects your stomach so now I don't have anymore probs. Hope you get sorted out soon. Gaynor :-)

Hi Liz & Bryan Liz - he gave me Diclofenac - and you are spot on - I can't afford to keep shelling out £7 on more prescriptions - especially when the drugs don't suit - like I have said before, you can't take the stuff back and get a refund :O(

Hi Bryan, too much info my friend, is your computer in the loo? lol I think Anne is fed up paying for a prescription that isn't doing any good and thinks if she goes back it will mean yet another cost for different pills and it is more expensive than buying the Nurofen! Might be wrong, but got that impression a while ago. I have been on voltarol -well, cheaper equivalent - and they haven't been a problem, they are for my fm and my shoulder, I usually only take them occasionally for the fm but have thad to do three a day because of the pain in my shoulder, still isn't totally right.

anne matey, just got up for a wee, but i'm sure you didn't want to know that :o) most painkillers will upset your tummy, if given a strong dose, only nurofen, and paracetamol will help the pain without the side affects, please go to your doctor sooner rather than later, it's silly suffering in silence, you pay your doctor his / her wages, so you call the tune, not them, remember they are a general practioner, ' master of none '.... bryan.

What were you taking Anne?

Oooooooh !!! I never asked him for the tabs !! I was doing all right taking nurofen. I just asked him to look see which hip i had it in last time and next thing I know I have a prescription!! I can manage with nurofen - and they don't cost £7 either lolol

Then he obviously thinks you need it. I still say make an earlier appointment and then he can give you something else.

so if he just gave you a hammer and told you to hit yourself would you not go back and say it hurt Ive stopped doing it????????????????????????????????????????????

Julie 3 weeks is when I am due back re my other meds ....... in the meantime I will continue with what I was taking before for my hip - I never asked him for a script for the hip pain he just gave it lol

Three weeks??? Make an appointment sooner, THAT IS AN ORDER!!!!!! I'm going to be busy over the next couple of weeks but Dawn has my email addy so if you dinny get it sorted she can email me and I'll come an mither you ;-ppp
