I have just had my phone appointment downgraded again, to NO appointment. Has anyone else had this? I, obviously don't mind in the current circumstances, but last year I was downgraded to annual from 6 monthly appointments, so I'm feeling a bit peeved just now.

Can't even send you out for a long wait?
Not me but my ticker defib promised appointment within a few weeks from Nov19 never happened. So keep taking the tablets. Innit for the long haul π€
I haven't needed monitoring yet. As with my mild cirrhosis a new November diagnosis of Atrial fibrillation is also mild. They gave me beta blockers in prep for a kick start defib as first course of action which he said would be within a matter of weeks.
It does mean meds wrong 1.25 half what they should bπ€
No I'm not up to speed with the technical term as I thought it would have been sorted already. Stop / start to kick it back into rythm, missing beats & racing. π
Thatβs a bummer π. Would have thought they could have squeezed un a telecon so things canβt be good. My next clinic isnβt until the 24th - no contact as yet....
Miles, is this a virus βββ, Splodge is coming up as hidden to me now......what on earth is going onβββ I have contacted HU in the past, but no point just now. It seems like all smoke and mirrors....trying to confuse us......which in my case, is not difficultπ€£π€£π€£
Oh no!! I would have thought you could hat at least had a telephone consultation!! Mine is in June 11th so I've not heard anything, yet!! Stay safe, David. Lynne
If only that were true. I have waited a year for this, but as Miles says things must be pretty bad, so C'est la Vie, Que sera, sera etc

You know exactly how I'm feeling about your appointment delay and cannot explain exactly how truly disappointed I'm feeling and I do hope you have the strength to keep up your fight! No one should suffer as much pain as you and Lynne 24/7
I shall be π that somehow your next appointment comes faster!
I will have to follow "procedure", which is impossible just now, as our GP surgeries are closed, and all resources are redirected to fighting covid-19.
My time will come when things get back to normal........whenever that will be, God knows. The wheels are still turning though, as my GP text me asking for blood pressure readings, and as they were a bit high, he put me on yet another med. I sometimes feel like a maraca πππ
Funny you should ask but my local hospital called me this morning to cancel my 6 week appointment but not able to make a new one even though they have also asked for bloods.
Apparently the secretary will contact at some stage! I know they are under pressure but they still need to talk to their patients.
As long as it's stays warm & in circulation your blood counts. π
