That would still leave me with one, plus a beta blocker that is intended for my tachycardia, but can also help lower blood pressure. I'll monitor it frequently in the near future. If it starts to rise a lot, we'll have to get the GP to FINALLY send the order. That doc also neglected to order my levothyroxine (thyroid). I still have a few weeks of that, but it is not an optional med. My thyroid is shot.
Hubby hasn't helped much with household chores, lately. I wish he'd do a little again.

Oh I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time getting your medications sorted out like this... Do you think maybe you should look for another GP? Blood pressure and Thyroid medications are not something that can just get screwed up like this.. Is it possible to go in person with a written list or even the prescription bottles and speak to the nurse? I'm not sure how things run in your new country but here If I need a refill on meds the nurses can just fax the order to the pharmacy. Maybe speaking to the nurse could get all the info needed to get everything sorted out???
I know you have mentioned before that your husband is dealing with Depression.. Could it be getting worse? Honestly I am not one to automatically say " Call your Pdoc" we all know meds can only go so far..
Do you have plans coming up? trips? sightseeing somewhere? Maybe if you had a plan to do X that could maybe help perk him up ?? Are you able to just ask him to please help you???
Heres hoping things improve
