I only found this basically on the last bite, I had already eaten a slice of this ham but didn’t check it! My dad ate the other 3 slices before I noticed this.
It goes out of date on the 11th and was unopened.
how fucked am I?
I’m so frustrated right now. I’ve had a migraine since Wednesday. On Friday I went to the GP because I wanted to seek help before the weekend. She said she didn’t know what to do and wrote a letter to neurology to review my meds. (This could take months and I needed a short term solution to break this migraine, I can handle getting a medication review and long-term support myself)
On Sunday I reached breaking point and contacted 111 around 3pm. At 7pm a nurse rang me and said a doctor should contact me within the next few hours. At 2am a doctor rang me and said to see my gp in the morning or go to a&e and wait if its “that bad”. It was 2am so i decided to just go to sleep and try again in the morning.
Monday (yesterday) i saw a great gp who listened to me and understood what I was asking and prescribed me rimegepant and I cried with relief. It turns out it is completely out of stock. No pharmacies have it or are able to order it. I’ve tried (either visited or rang) 10+ pharmacies and not a single one has it or can order it. I rang my gp to ask for an alternative but didn’t hear anything.
I rang the gp AGAIN this morning to chase up and I still haven’t heard anything yet as of 2pm.
I’m at my wits end and just want the pain to end. My friend has moved away today and I was meant to see her to say goodbye yesterday but I couldn’t go. I have tickets to see a show on thursday (my birthday present) and I so desperately want to go but know I can’t in my current state. I’m also meant to be working at a festival this weekend which is definitely looking unlikely.
I’ve considered going to a&e but the only time i get relief is laying completely horizontal with an ice pack in a dark room and just the thought of sitting in an a&e waiting room for hours makes me feel nauseous. And from what I’ve heard, they can’t do much at a&e in the UK either.
I’m currently taking: propranolol 80mg 3x daily, candestartan 16mg daily, lamotrigine and recieving botox from the headache clinic. I also have almotriptan, naproxen and prochlorperazine. I’ve taken 4 triptans during this episode, the last time I took it on Friday the side effects were horrific and I’m terrified of taking it again. I’m well aware of MOH but feel I have no other option at this point.
