I've been looking everywhere for Paracetamol. I have a condition that has me using other things, as they are less damaging to me, and the Daughter took so much of it as a toddler that she doesn't really even respond much to it now. So we just never kept it in the house. BUT, I've read that the NSAIDs cause problems with the virus. I've got a medicine box full of naproxin and aspirin, and thought I'd be fine. But no, now I need paracetamol in case one of us gets sick and cannot find it anywhere. Sold out. Back ordered. Etc., etc.
I went to place an order for groceries online tonight on Tesco. While I was watching and trying to book a slot, availability changed from late next Thursday (as in a week from this Thursday) to the following Sunday afternoon. Yoiks. Ok, so I got an order in and was able to get kiddie Paracetamol liquid, which will serve in a pinch. Two was the allowed purchase, so I'll have two. Assuming they actually are delivered a week from Sunday.
Tried Morrisons online shop, they said they could send actual Paracetamol. Placed an order there for the weekly shop. It could not be delivered until a week from this Friday. So, between now and the middle of next week I am in search of Paracetamol. If I find it, I can cancel the Morrison's order. Which is likely to arrive without it anyway. I'll still have the Tesco order as a backup. Which may or may not arrive with the kiddie version.
Anybody have a spare box of Paracetamol, or seen it in stock in Glasgow west? I've checked all the online stocks - Boots shows to be completely sold out. I can stop by daily and check, I guess - it'd give me somewhere to walk everyday. Although I'm not supposed to be going out. Superdrug's system says they have it down in City Center, but their website has a nasty habit of being wrong and I'd have to get on the bus. Which I may do - the Daughter is having a fit, saying I should not do that. But if I'm careful I might be able to make a quick raid down and back. I really don't want to not have anything safe to give her for the fever.
