Hi all,
Had a bit of a kick in the teeth this weekend. With my DN help I have been reducing my meds whilst keeping my BG levels sensibly low (after years of ignoring them!) I have stopped taking the statin, metformin and pioglitazone. I'm still taking lercanidipine and lisinopril while my BP is slightly high.
Anyway Saturday I get a letter from the NHS in the form of a Penalty Charge Notice asking for £100 plus £18 prescription charge for June. This is supposedly on the basis that I am no longer entitled to free prescriptions. I can sort of see the logic, but it seems very harsh.
Any suggestions before I get in touch with them?
Thanks
