At last!! A little bit of help....:-D

[ninjananna]

Hi fibro-friends! I had an appointment with my Dr recently as I have been feeling really down with a flare that has lasted 5 weeks!! I was pretty much suicidal!! She asked me a lot if questions and was shocked to learn that I wasn't getting any help! and that the hospital that had diagnosed me had not followed up with any action plan! Anywho!! I've just picked up my bloods form and have to have 14!!!!specialised bloods taken for my referral to CFS services and also a referral to occupational therapy services for a home visit! Sooohh.... The moral of the story is...... KEEP ON PUSHING!!! Much love to you all!!!....ninja...xx

Hi ninjananna

That is really good news, and I am genuinely delighted for you, it is terrible that it has taken so long and you have had to fight all the way. However, hopefully something really good will come from this. That is a lot of blood to give up in one go however? I would ask for a receipt!

Take care and good luck

As Tony Hancock said, that's nearly an armful. 14 actually isn't all that much and there's only one hole, they change the vacuum unit between samples but leave the needle unit in, so only 1 puncture. That's probably 14 tests and not necessarily 14 samples. Drink a glass of water before you go, it really helps. Is it a fasting test?

[ninjananna in reply to fenbadger]

@fenbadger! I went this morning and you're right! 1 puncture wound and 6 vials filled!! Ninja and wound both doing well!!..

[fenbadger in reply to ninjananna]

Goodo

[ninjananna]

Hahahaha Ken! You're right re: the blood test! I will be drinking lots of water and will take a banana and cereal bar for afterwards!!.... X

Thank you. I reached a wall with my pain management specialist after 2 visits. One of the posts here recommended finding doctors who are known to really work with fibro patients. It may take me awhile to find one who takes my insurance and has real empathy and skill. I commend you for "pushing it" and finding a sympathetic and competent doctor! I hope it all works to your benefit.

[ninjananna]

Ahh! Thanks so much guys... I do feel much more positive about what's going on now and I'm pleased to see that I may have helped others who are not getting the help they need "PUSH" for answers and help that's due!!.. xx
