Moved to different area

A while ago I moved to a different county to my neuro clinic. He was not my original neuro. He has never examined me but last year wrote to my gp and said I was slowly progressing

This years examination by phone as I admitted to having a few UTI,s he said I was having continuing progression

I have had MS for 20 years and felt quite ill and a bit disabled in the first 5 years, they were awful years He didn’t know me then as I was diagnosed in the county I live in now

I do not agree with his ideas about progression, Now my real question is I get a Sativex prescription from him. if I try and change to a neuro nearer to home would I still be able to get ?Sativex? I think probably not

Has anyone else been denied drugs they were on due to Postcode lottery when they moved?

Mmm, I cant know but I can hazard a guess that you probably wont continue to get it from your new neuro, as not everyone prescribes it.

Is there any way you could ask?

Not sure what county you live in, but I know for us in West Yorkshire we can’t get Sativex yet, so maybe that would happen.
