[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 301319, member: 30851"] Yes i went back yesterday just o have the pressures checked. They have come down from he late 30s to 18 and 20. While this is good I won't know what I really need to know until I see he consulant again when he checks my last laser treatment on 18th September. As i expected he had left insructions that they should tell him the resulkts. I saw he head nurse in the Nurse- led clinic and she went off to find him but said he had just started lasering a patient and could not be disurbed. I was a bit comncerned about whether i should continue taking the drops or not so she asked a random Dr who gave the same answer i would have if I wanted to cover my back. That was go on taking them until your next appt. I couldnt do that because i only have 2 weeks worth of drops left. So they gave me another prescription and old me to ake it to the hospital pharmacy. Now whenever i find myself questioning the consultants instructions - I always find out that he doesn't miss a detail and always has my best interests at hear. Las ime he gave me the prescripio for he drops he told me o take it o my own chemist. I wondered why I couldn' ake it to the hospital pharmacy but there was no ime to ask. this ime I trotted off to the pharmacy with he prescripion and waited and waited....Evenually i was called o he counter and presented wih a huge bag. the pharmacist started giving me a long list of instructions. I was bewildered. wasn't it the same as last time.? Apparently not . they don't stock one of the brands of drops i was prescribed and insead gave me more bottles which they said all added uop to the same hing. I can now see why the consultant told me to go to my own chemist! "Its a shame whe you only get sense from a consultant. Have to ask what the others are for. padding? Now I just hope he sees the file before i have to put about seven lots of drops into each eye every day! The present lot are causing bad hypos some nights. It did occur to me to wonder whether just giving me dropswth the injections might be an opion. I will just have to wait and see. [/QUOTE]
