Hello Every One. Firstly can I thank Helvella, Engels, Marre, Prouisab,and Thomas1944 for your comments on my first ever post on this site. Your help gave the will to face my Doctors with guts not threats. Here goes. DRUM ROLL. On Monday morning at 08 30 I rang the Doctors surgery and asked to see a Doctor, she did not ask me for what reason, I just said I was feeling as rough as an old boot, and that if I could see a Doctor at the surgery I would asking for a home visit. She gave me an appointment for 10 47 the same morning. I rand my sister who meet me at the surgery and waited . When we got in to see the Doctor he asked what he could do for me, I said please give me a B12 injection as I was over due. He gave me all the talk I had already been told. When I told him that I had already had the blood tests done, he went on his computer to check. He then asked me how often I have been having the injections for which I told him. He asked me to wait a min , left the room , when he came back he asked which shoulder and gave me a B12 Injection, no problem. He also told me blood count was very low and that I will always have injections from now on, we talked about supplements but his advice was no. He did give me paper work for more blood tests at the of November. So my advice is try again or call for a home visit or if this does not work go A&E. So again thank you one and all for your help. Oh please don't think Im leaving this site because I have got sorted out Im not. I have never before got help like you people have gave me, so Im here for you and any one. Again Thank You.

My contributions on HU (mostly Thyroid UK with the odd foray across here) are written without any thought of getting thanks - it is entirely unnecessary. After all, I do what I do because it makes me feel good if I try to help others. But it is very nice to get thanked like that - wishing you very well.
