So frustrating when things like this go wrong. Hope you get some joy soon.

Thank you. It's just so ridiculous. Feel like I am going to have to kick up a real fuss to get it sorted.

Going to try one more time with the GP next week (as I have to go get my meds anyway), then I will give that a shot. Cheers.

I have asked them so many times now, but they just keep telling me everything looks correct on their end, so they can't update anything. On the rare occasions I get a response from NHS Wales, they just send a standard response saying I need to ask my GP to update my records... and so it continues.

Such a strange occurrence, I know.

Anyway. I am quite stressed out.

Thank you for coming to my first lecture in an ongoing series about everything being shit and broken now.

So now the pharmacist downstairs has prescriptions in one name and the GP in the other, and as a result I have no medication and no idea how the fuck this is going to get sorted out.
A new one has been submitted in the correct name, but who knows where this will end.

At this point, I assumed my GP must have just reverted me back to my old name, so I popped over to see them, but nope, they still have the correct name and no record of it ever changing, and they can't fix it because it's correct.

So I pop over to the chemist yesterday, ask for my prescription, give my address, and they say "oh we don't have anybody with that name at your address, but we do have a different one".
Turns out NHS Wales have somehow managed to update my name incorrectly with my fucking chemist.

So at this point I thought, fuck it, this is obviously broken beyond repair and nobody can fix it (or even tell me who to contact about it), so I guess I just don't get to access my records/prescriptions, and will just use the old school way of letting the pharmacy recorder them for me.

Eventually one of my many attempts to sign up worked, but my name is wrong (and also weirdly appears differently in places), and it won't actually load my records properly or let me order/view prescriptions.

There is no real way to contact them via the system, and previous attempts have been completely ignored. They did send one automated email telling me to update my info with my GP, so I have tried to do that multiple times, but my GP has my correct name, so there was literally nothing they could do.

I've been trying to sort this out for so many months now, and it just keeps getting worse.

First I couldn't sign up for ages, because despite my GP and every hospital I have had surgery in having had my correct name for decades it refused to accept my ID and kept saying my name was wrong.

Update: A cat climbed on me and immediately got a big grubby stain on my new jumper, so it is in the wash now.

I genuinely did by a pair of kids jeans a few weeks ago... and guess what? Too fucking big!

Oh that truly is magical. I have about 10 charity shops nearby, so I am always looking, but I am also only 5ft tall, so trousers are always difficult.
