It's been an interesting day!

I heard back from the clinic... my specialist is on leave at the moment, but the nurse managed to get hold of the other specialist to get some instructions for me, but in the absence of doctors couldn't organise scripts or medications for me. So we've just spent a bit of time waiting at the after hours GP clinic at the local hospital here.

It's an interesting experience to walk into a GP you've never seen, attempt to give him the short version of the story (which can't really be done, anyway) and then say "I need cyklokapron" and then find that the doctor has never heard of the drug at all!

But, I have my cyklokapron now - it's a non-hormonal drug to help reduce the bleeding, but as the pharmacist said it was an anti-inflammatory drug I'm going to have to call my friend at work again tonight to check whether it's ok to take with my other arthritis drugs. I'm also on a 5-day break from the pill on the advice of the other FS at my clinic before I resume again.

What have I learned from this little episode... if clinic nurses brush me off and I'm still worried - INSIST ON SOME SORT OF ACTION!!

Yes, BW has learnt something here at least!
