[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 679233, member: 88961"] As a matter of interest, what is your score with the heart attack box ticked? My suggestion is you go and have an open hearted discussion with your doctor about this. You are coming across as somewhat stressed by this whole thing, which doesn't help anything or anyone. At the end of the day your doctor is an advisor whose advice you can accept or reject. She is not a demo-God, but is rather hog-tied by the NHS guidelines. If they deviate too far and a catastrophic event occurs she would find herself in a cold, uninsured place. In many ways I feel for them. Prepare before you go, so that you have a coherent case to make and see how it goes. If, after a two-way discussion, you still feel so emphatically, or if she is unwilling to allow you a period to try to change things, then it is your decision whether you tell her you will pass on the meds for now. But I think she deserves some air time. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
