Interesting JAS and understandable too in many cases. Having chronic health issues is extremely stressful plus you have the worry of your dad too.

Take care xxxx

It shouldn't ever be 'a dirty word' because there's always a reason for it. And yes, poor care would make even the strongest of us anxious!

Hope you have a good day today with only the tiniest of anxieties, if any. 🤔 Sue x

in reply toshadow4me

Hi Shadow4me Sorry to read you too have suffered bad anxiety.

Is pits as sadly i know to well BUT i think doctors could be tad more understanding when writing about suffers in letters to others.

Its funny how my doctor wrote about my health anxiety to other doctors.

In what seemed a derogatory term describing boy who cries wolf BUT forgot to mention am in this mess threw there incompitance well unless am dyslectic am missed that bit.

It's perfectly natural to be anxious about any health problem that your docter's can't or won't try to get to the bottom of. What do they expect?

You have been led up the garden path ever since I joined this site a few years ago and it is an awful thing to witness.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

Just look at that embarrassing bodies program and the people, who after years of suffering with something their Docter or local hospital can't find a solution for, having to humiliate themselves, in desperation and in front of millions of people, that miraculously finally find out what's been up with them and how it can be treated.

How do their docters do it when our docter's can't, simple, it's all about the money !!!

If you can afford Harley Street consultants, your sorted.

The whole system stinks!!!
