Hmm- interesting! Can you really buy medications online without a
prescription?
Where? Is there any way of knowing the drugs are reliable? Do they only
deliver in the states? There must be some way of getting hold of the
stuff one needs, however dubious. I'm not saying one would have to do
it indefinitely, but yeah, it would be a start, then one can work on
one's G.P, and by then find a decent specialist or whatever. On a
related note, what exactly can one buy over the counter in Mexico? I
read a post a while back and I think someone said they could buy
metformin there without a prescription. Now, its probably not worth me
going all the way to Mexico for some metformin, especially if it doesn't
work but the money I am spending / proposing to spend seeing fairly
useless people....I think I am so desparate for help NOW I am turning
into a madwoman with crazy crazy ideas. Good luck with whatever you
decide, anyway.
