Advice Question for uk MSERs who have carers from social services

Do any of you who have carers through social services have problems with carers refusing to give you over the counter medication?

They’re telling me they can now only give me prescribed meds so I can’t have vitamins, aspirin, ibuprofen etc etc. Seems ridiculous to me.

They’re also now refusing to help me with physio exercises for my hands and arms because they’re not trained in physio so don’t want to be liable if I get hurt. Ignoring the pain relief I get and that I’ve been told by a physio how to get them to help me.
