I No medication again!

GP surgery and Chemist playing games with my health!

14 days running. Why? Who is the insane ones here? Them or me?

Why is this happening? Because I chose to exercise my rights to speak out about the poor treatment received from them and request to change Chemist. Further investigations reveals that the problems lays at the feet of the repeat prescription staff who blatantly stated “I could not be bothered to send request to new Chemist”😳 When asked will you do it now, response was Maybe if Chemist asks me!

I thought I was hearing doubles. I said excuse me? Replied too busy now have to go goodbye and hung up. 🙆‍♀️😢

Senior Administrative staff pretended as if the line was bad and hung up as well. This time it was done to another medical staff who was making general enquiry!

It has now become clearly apparent to everyone that the fault rests with them and not myself. (sigh) makes no sense involving NHS because they clearly state this will take months before it is attended to.

The Half has not been told!

Should anything untoward happen to me, at least someone else knows.

This winter has been the Worse Lupus and Raynaud experiences have had.

The Meniere and hearing impairment Related symptoms has heightened with constant louder ringing in my ears. Heart palpitations and heightened stiffness in my joints and spine is so excruciatingly painful. My eyes blur and difficult to focus when trying to read. Swollen feet and Sleepless nights resulting with dark black circles under my eyes.

Fatigue and exhaustion.

Does anyone cares, no! Do I deserve this, no! Last I recall we are all well within our rights to say who should or should not enter our homes or not welcomed there.

Would the normal person be upset? frustrated? Angry? Disappointed? You tell me. Because after such behaviour from frontline staff great care has to be exercised fearing less one is accused or labelled as lacking cognitive abilities.

Did I ask for all these and other related health issues? No. Did I diagnose myself? No! Am I the one prescribing or self medicating no! Am I overdosing? No! Blood test results doesn’t reveal any such thing. So please if one is adhering to ALL the guidelines and principles laid down by those who should be caring for you, please can tell me why?

111 is now very familiar with this address and all for what? The careless incompetence of a staff who thinks she’s untouchable and couldn’t care less if a homebound patient gets her medication as she should??

Not even going to mention the knock on effect on my dermatological issues.

Has anyone ever had these issues before and how was it resolved? My chest hurts and my ears ringing ever so loudly. To top it off I am hearing impaired yet they wish to hold telephone conversation with me?!😳 what the hell??? Have to be borrowing my carer’s smart phone to put call on speaker to attempt to decipher what being said! Is this right???

I need an advocate. Information how to contact disability group that will speak for me. Social Services Department very overworked with long waiting list.

Hello denden,

So sorry to hear you are continuing to have such a terrible time. You are right - you need an advocate. It should be possible to speak your local advocacy service directly - no need to go through Soc Services? Hope you get some help soon x
