Take a deep breadth and now you have slept on it (or not) I hope you feel lighter of heart this morning make an appointment with another Doc before you go write everything down what happened how you feel and where you hurt (It is not just in your mind) take the list with you . Slowly explain yourself how you feel and hopefully another doc will be more sympathetic and sort your meds out for you good luck hun x gins

NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi Jan

I am so sorry for you are feeling but I am in the exact same position. I want to change surgeries but I am waiting an appeal date for ESA & I'm worried another Doc will not know my history. Although my Doc wont give me meds she is backing me up re ESA? However after watching the programes last night I'm not holding out much hope & think maybe I should just move now as everyone seems to be recieving zero points.

I hope you calm down & begin to think rationally & maybe a change of surgery is what you need too. I feel like I am beating my head of a brick wall but I do need help. Its either I fight on or end up with a nervous breakdown.

Dont give up, we have to fight for our rights & to be heard.

Luv & Hugs

Jackie

Plz dont give up remember gps are human and as in all walks of life you will get the good and the bad. Thats where personal choice comes into play - gps are providing a service and like all other services if ur not happy vote with ur feet and walk away; find urself a gp who is more knowledgeable about & in tune with fibro and its effects and treatment. Dont let your gp's attitude colour your judgement there is no better expert than a patient and you know best!! Pls dont sit back and accept shoddy treatment ur worth so much more!!!!

Take care x

I had an anesthetist who tried to belittle me this way. I insisted on a change of hospitals and the next doctor wonder what the last one had been on about! I have seen good and bad..I am thankful to be a health care professional and to understand about pain management, and what my rights are. This goes a long way but it is still tough. There is a very renouned pain management expert Margo McAffery who said 'pain is what the patient says is is, existing when he/she says it does'...next time you tell them that...it will soon knock them into shape, futher more look at the patients charter and your doctors codes of practice and NICE guidleines and be alarmed at your entitlements.

Jan we all sympathise, we are all in the same boat and have been in your situation at some time or other with Fibro. I am so pleased you are going to see your GP on Thursday and you're taking lots of info with you. That's fighting spirt!

I am sure your hubby and son understand your frustrations. Make sure you get a couple of nights sleep and rest as best you can before your appointment.

Take care and please let us know how you get on on Thursday!
