Also, you don't always get the brand that you may have had in the UK over here.

My doctor decided to put me on what he felt was the same as my UK brand of pills and they definitely weren't the same, evidenced by the mood swings, spots, greasy skin, etc, etc.....so much so that I am saving myself a few quid and stopped taking them. I am a much happier bunny now as a result!

You include the receipts when you file your tax return and note the total in the appropriate box. You need a lot of receipts though as the tax break only kicks in after you spend a significant percentage of income.

I would willingly pay $22 a month insurance to avoid an accident that resulted in $250000+ in damage.


My nuts are on the block...its taken nearly 5 months to get an initial consultation with the local urologist...who knows how long after that for the deed to be done.

Typical. Blaming a pill for your attitude to life.

Women.....I ask you......

More seriously, my OH got several repeat prescriptions for her HRT from the UK before finding an alternative here that was as effective keeping her psychosis in check (joke). It's taken a couple of years to find the right dose and a brand that suits her like she had in the UK.

I think that I was more annoyed with my doctor (who has a bit of a god complex, but theres a shortage of doctors here so I cant change) insisted that the pills were the same when even a layperson such as myself could see from the leaflet that they had different compositions of hormones.....

It's no big deal really Iain.....unless you've fused tubes, the doctor gets hand cramps, you need 6 local anesthetic injections due to the time it takes, and 3 highly attractive female student nurses are on hand to observe. I'm still suffering the trauma 10yrs on :(

Indeed, a bargain at half the price.
Still, it sucks to go from paying $0 to $22+.
Lots of tinned soup dinners for me then.....unless someone's going to come along and tell me soup costs $10 a tin in Canada.
