So, it seems my relief at discovering an effective solution for ED was premature. 2 weeks after my hospital visit to be shown how to use Invicorp, I still don't have any. The hospital wrote to my GP asking them to prescribe and I have called various times to chase it up. I've been told, "the doctor is reviewing it", "a senior partner is reviewing it","it's being processed etc". Yesterday I had a text from the pharmacy to say they were preparing my prescription, hoorah!
However, on checking on the NHS app, the only approved prescription was for a sharps box! I queried this with the surgery today who confirmed this, a sharps box to use for Invicorp syringes I haven't received was the only prescription approved! Furthermore, I was told the GP surgery would NOT now be prescribing Invicorp to me, as there was no "patient care plan" in place, or some such.
I spoke to the urology nurse who taught me how to use it and supervised my first self administered injection. She was super helpful and said the surgery was talking bollox! she will write to them again to explain the procedure and insist that they prescribe. If they refuse, she will be able to prescribe me some direct from the hospital, but it's a 2 hour round trip, so not an ideal long term solution.
I'm pretty annoyed about this petty bureaucracy impacting my quality of life tbh. It'll get sorted I'm sure, just venting. Apologies!
