Hi all. I have ms and take pregablin for pain relief.  Doctors in Uk only prescribe one month at a time with prescription.  Where I will be applying for resudencia and until I am in the health system with s1 how can’t I get them.  I ask My Uk gp to give me 4 monthS to give me time to get health system.  They said no.  I thought they could give me an international prescription? I can’t register with public doctor to s1 registered.  I can register until I get residencia so going around in circles.  Can a private doctor write me prescription if they see my medical records I have been on this for 7 years.

you may possibly be able to get a private prescription from the doctor in Parque commerical mojacar but you would have to pay the full costs of the consultation and the prescription medicines.  you may want to find out how much that might be first.  take it you are already here in Spain and applying for residencia and S1 registration,  ask Karen at CATS for advice on how to proceed with that and i'm sure that they will be able to help you.

Do you live full time in Spain or 6 months if the year. Once full time you can’t use the nhs anymore
