Hello - I've alreday read the message from LesleyA re Contact Lens, but I've just started wearing daily disposals, paid for by Direct Debit etc. I am now moving to France within the next few months. My optician thought that it may be that I could purchase daily disposals over the counter with a current prescription. Can anyone confirm if that is correct - I do hope so!!

Does anyone know of and recommend an osteopath in the Marmande/Duras region of SW France?

I am moving to SW France in the very near future and would be grateful for any advice anyone can give. I have an underactive thyroid and need to take daily medication. I also get medication for migraines (although I don't need to take daily medication and, you never know, they may disappear when I get to France!). I am aware that I can get a couple of forms from the DHSS which would entitle me to free healthcare for up to six months, but after this time has expires, does anyone have any idea of the cost of medicines that are needed for life and what percentage I could possibly claim back (I think I've read somewhere it's 70%, is that right?)
