Well.. i am based in Hertfordshire and got signed off until 31 Oct.
I ve resigned from my job as theres no way I could ever sustain it now - moreover it comes to an end in January.
In the meantime i wake up with pain in my skull, elbows, collarbones and knees mainly - at around 2am each day. On/off pain and discomfort most of the day.
My doc has prescribed Naproxen twice a day and am waiting on my NHS referral. The referral seems to have gone missing so have wasted some six weeks so far.
Does anyone have experience of how long it takes to get their first appointment- am in Hertfordshire.
Also, i m wondering if i could claim PIP?
How depressing for you, i’m Not Herefordshire so don’t know sorry but got emergency referral from Hants GP in 3 weeks (was after 6 months of varying symptoms tho’). Yes you can claim PIP, nras do great free booklet that talks you through process, it’s not means tested. Good luck hope things improve soon x
