Sadly this type of challenging behaviour is more common these days. I’m not sure if this is a societal issue or the move to keep children in mainstream schools as much as possible. I suspect a combination of both.
It does seem specialist provision is needed for the benefit of all.
Sounds like the school are taking the appropriate steps now.
A quick question, what’s the role of a clinical pharmacist? Got the results of a standard health check, bloods, weight, lifetstyle etc. Qrisk is high and had a message saying i had been referred to a pharmacist. Anyone got any experience of what they do?
It depends
NHS - A box of aspirin and they tell you to give up tabs & booze.
BUPA - A home defibrillator, monthly appointment to see a consultant and a blow job.
>googles BUPA membership<
A lot better than being a hospital pharmacist which are leaving in droves to take up clinical pharmacist roles in primary care on more money 
Basically prescribers who can will take some of the workload off GPs (who are retiring in droves).
Might be ok then. I need to be on another type of statin and will see if they will put me on one of the new appetiser supressants, given that amphetemine seems to have dried up an all that.
If they suggest injections of one of these then take a long hard look at the side-effects. You might be OK, but I took one (Lixisenatide) as part of a diabetes drug trial and it was very unpleasant. 15 minutes after injecting it it hit me so hard I couldn’t get up off the sofa.
As has often been said to me - “It’s not an appetite suppressant you need, it’s a fucking pie suppressant!” - still, skipping starters is a good… er… start…
Lera or sema glutide are the ones i was looking at. Wegovy is the brand name. Got my appointment next week, will see how that goes.
I suspect it will be statin first, atorvastatin resulted in a severe side effect, new type required.
A couple of days around the industrial bits of N Derbys & S Yorks. Yesterday’s walk from Castleton took us up to the plateau, where a flock of golden plover were peeping to each other.
which feeds the Hope Valley cement works
Today was scything grass and light scrub in Centenary park Rotherham - site of the Ironhenge.
I did about a third of this lot. The park is a flood buffer, with the river on one side and railway on the other. It was the site of a steelworks, where the metal blocks were made.
I took Atorvastatin for a month, terrible insomnia and I can normally sleep for England, leading to a really painful mouth ulcer and I was bunged up to the eyeballs. I spoke to the quack about it as I was going on holiday for a month and I was supposed to contact them when I got back but I haven’t, I’d be interested to know how you get on with an alternative.
I’ve been taking Atorvastatin for a couple of years now with no side affects.
4 months here with no issues.
Just so this list doesn’t get too long I have taken Artovastinn for many years with no problems and last year so did 818 million other people.
About 5% of people experience side affects ranging from muscle ache to full blown BobC
Me too. Been on it since it came off patent and the price dropped enormously. Simvastatin had been doing an OK job on my lipids up to that point but Atorvastatin immediately did a substantially better one.
I got moved from Simvastatin too, I hadn’t reallised it was a budget led decision but as long as the efficacy was the same or improved then it makes sense that the NHS would review costs.
Yep, it’s fucking rare, but luckily the permanent damage is just a numb index finger and not the whole arm.
Numb-arm-with-benefits tho’…
