But when he got there, the cupboard was bare…

Chris kindly went over to LRI on Saturday to collect my 25mg Ciclosporin capsules. I mentioned it in clinic today and the consultant understood the issue and gave me a prescription for yet another denomination - 50mg - just in case the dose changes again. Also on that prescription was a request for a month's supply of Isavuconazole, an antifungal drug that I'll be on long-term and which I will run out of at 10pm tonight.

I went to the on-site pharmacy and after a long wait was presented with the 50mg Ciclosporin capsules. The Isavuconazole, however, wasn't in stock. They've had to put in an urgent order which means yet another trip to the hospital tomorrow to collect it.

So, that'll be three trips to LRI on three consecutive days (my next clinic appointment will be on Thursday).

Did nobody tell these people that I'm supposed to be at home getting some R&R?
