Thats whats really worrying me. I know many dismiss it as scaremongering or whatever, but..many things to do with this were dismissed as scaremongering that are actually happening now and being made out that was the wish/plan all along so...

3 of my medications are on 'the list' of stuff that will apparently possibly be problematic.

1 of my meds is hard enough to get at the best of times, nevermind if theres a shortage.

However, my lovely GPs refuse to give me more than a 2 week supply of my most needed medication at a time. Which is fantastic as even now, the chemist never has it (despite knowing I will need it every fortnight as I have used them for years...) and theres a ridiculous **** about where they keep telling me its ordered, its ordered which often ends up in me missing whole days worth of it which is pure torture as its my main pain med and am on a very high dose too (tapentadol - 500mgs per day). When its over a day, I sometimes go into opiate withdrawal ontop of the pain, which is also fantastic of course So not hopeful at all for that one, if the shortages do happen. But of course, listening to those who really don;t give a crap about anything besides some fantasy of Brexit they are holding onto in their heads..its just people trying to panic us and scare us into delaying, or not leaving! Go brexit!!! No problems to be seen here, not at all. Same as how the possibility of no deal was just scaremongering too, no way would that ever ever happen in a million years! Despite sarcasm about it though, it really is freaking me out

Not that concerned about food tbh. If prices rise, I will deal. We have a cupboard full of tins and stuff and have a spare freezer for backup for random skint times so will manage. But the meds thing is stressing me so much..am actually half seriously considering ordering some from silkroad (or whatever it is these days) but then stressing incase it gets intercepted by customs and am done for buying drugs!
