whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk

⚠️11

did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35

TA

member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago

CS

a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us

MM

ok so northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current

ST

cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision

TA

whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare

CS

quick one border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door

VB

Testing queue: 4 submissions open, 58 awaiting dispatch.

BS

pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country

BS

vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax

i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy

*that should say weekly

TA

unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved, take that with a pinch of salt

TA

slightly off topic but coming back after 11 months, is the nhs picture any better

TA

there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now, your mileage will differ

TA

when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment, still working it out

the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention

BS

the private quotes i collected last spring ran from about 130 to about 250 a month depending on dose, and that will have moved since

*PeptideMeter not the other one
