I am not too happy if the compounding pharmacy screws up my daily thyroid script (as they recently did - I got a different pharmacy then) and that's not nearly in the same category.

I hope the supply continues to be available. I guess one bad time isn't too bad, but with something as essential as daily insulin for a diabetic, no bad times would be better. Insulin supplies have held out okay we have used online ordering from the NHS where normally I have had a 6 monthly review with a Nurse or Doctor. I had one bad time during COVID-19 for VitaminB-12 injections I had to pay for a private injection which wasn’t fun, organising that was stressful but the NHS was almost overwhelmed in March/April. But Lyrical has not been back so I guess we are talking to ourselves.īTW - was your supply of insulin affected as badly as you feared? There are many uses and nuances for all the words and that is why I suggested using a dictionary. I don't think JJ excluded trembling by people.
