My pharmacy can't get cholecalciferol
The first pharmacy had none, the second had about 6 weeks worth but I was prescribed a lot more (11 months!), I ache more since taking it but do feel brighter and was supposed to be taking it for 12 weeks then repeat bloods. The 2nd pharmacy are saying they can't get hold of it - it's Boots, it's a huge company, so is cholecalciferol not being produced any more or is vit D deficiency being picked up more which could explain the shortage? To confuse things I've had an appointment through to see the ent surgeon this week but surely he won't consider anything while they're trying to sort out my blood levels. Oh well, at least I know someone is alive out there.
Oh yes, the pharmacy have told me that if I can't get this drug I'll have to ask for something else to be prescribed and pay the prescription fee again! What a cheek.

Meggy you can buy D3 over the counter so you don't have to have a script for it. A company called Better You do a liquid spray in different strengths or you can just buy a D3 supplement.
