Our scripts last for 3 months but IF there is no change I could renew mine on line :)  Anyway before leaving Helensville I got 3 months worth all at one time.  Normally we only get 1 month at a time and have to go back to the chemist for another month, then again for the 3rd month then we can either go visit the GP or renew on line for the next 3 months.

OIC We get 5 repeats on most scripts, so our scripts last 6 months. My pain meds only last for 3 months and I need to see the Dr for renewal of them ones.

No not really, just Panadeine Forte, they have 30mgs of codeine in them and that's the strongest part. I do not take any opiates for pain and never will as they make me ill.

Is codeine not an opiate?  I guess not if you do take it.  ((((((((((((Darien)))))))))

I didn't think it was, but I just looked it up and it is an opiate!!!! Well obviously not all opiates make me ill then!!!

Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea. It is found naturally in the sap of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. Wikipedia

That's what I thought, but I thought maybe I'd been out of the loop all these years.  Well, it's good you can take it Darien, I'm glad it doesn't make you sick.

It was a long drive for you and the older we get we have trouble with long car rides.

((((((((((((((((((((Moira))))))))))))))))))))  We just had the 6 hour trip to and from Topeka recently so I know how long it is.  We stopped for lunch and the LOO as well.   Do you think the backache and leg cramp was from the trip?  I don't normally have any physical problems with long car rides but they are often quite boring.

It was the same when Robert and I went to Canberra, a 5 hour run. Robert had cramps in his legs as well and I was just sore all over, long trips are harder to do these days and Robert wants to drive down to Ballarat in Victoria, about a 10 hour drive, to see his cousin Lynn as she was hit by a car whilst cycling and left on the side of the road!!!!! She received multiple fractures to her body Thankfully she is recovering well, but it will be a long recovery. That trip will take us a few days as we won't drive straight through, but take a day or two.
You are lucky Linda, not to suffer from long drives.
