Where are you from sorry to ask but I've looked online and can not seem to locate a asda chemist to search to order?

Do you get your repeat prescription from there too?

Hi,

I self fund mine. Been turned down by my consultant last year..
Normally get my repeats for the other stuff from my local village chemist.

I live in Wiltshire.

Edit to add, dispensing chemist in the supermarket.

Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Register with Abbott and you should join a waiting list and eventually be able to order on line.
You may be able to order immediately if there is no longer a waiting list.
I used to get mine from Asda but it was a bit of a drive, so ordering on the Internet works well.

I used to get mine from my local Asda - its a large Asda though (hypermarket sized - Reading) though so had a separate chemist and optician so I got them from the chemist there.
Once I got them on prescription I then got them from my more local chemist so stopped getting them at Asda.
