Referred - at last!

Well, the gp is finally making an urgent referral for me! I spoke to him this morning after again failing to reduce the prednisolone below 30mg and he suggested that I ‘might consider being referred’ ! As if I hadn’t been asking for it for months. In the meantime I have to stay on 30mg of prednisolone ☹️ but overall it’s a good result!👍

I managed not to growl, ‘About time too!’ at him! I’m just feeling relieved at the moment. 👍

Thank you! I tried to look up waiting list times but couldn’t find any info more recent than 2012!
