There is no getting around the fact that what you went through was a horrible experience and it was inexcusable how you were treated.
I still don't understand why that would made you want to turn to online pharmacies. I would be surprised if they would have greater medical knowledge or would have caught this.

Docs at that practice, and maybe docs generally, seem obsessed with desmopressin posing a threat of hyponatraemia through excessive fluid retention/overhydration through drinking too much fluid. My meticulously-compiled charts (produced at docs' request and then ignored) showed my fluid intake to be normal and my output to be excessive - I was polyuric. But the doc just stopped the desmopressin with no warning, discussion or explanation.
Reminder - ACE inhibitors are particularly dangerous when one is dehydrated, so this in fact put me at greater risk, although I didn't know it at the time.
I had been taking desmo with no problems for 7 years when I had my first hyponatraemic episode, but docs decided desmo was to blame rather than the ACE inhibitor I had only started shortly before - going onto the top dose just 10 days before the episode.
Desmopressin had transformed my life for the better. At last I could go shopping without multiple trips to disgusting public toilets. I could use buses again. I could sleep without having to get up multiple times to urinate. And I wasn't constantly thirsty.
So after a lot of research, and with trepidation, I tried what appeared to be a reputable online pharmacy - and have never looked back.
I do not look for medical knowledge at a pharmacy of any kind. I use scientific papers and authoritative sites, including government sites.
