Leigh it sounds like you are in a terrible state and are not being well-supported by your family. Is there a patient advocacy service nearby that could help you? It's awfully difficult to explain yourself when the fog had descended and you feel under pressure so some third party intervention may be the way to go.
Very best wishes and I hope that you get the treatment you clearly need very soon.
Hi! I'm so sorry. You do such amazing work caring for others it's terrible that you aren't getting the right care in return.
Is there any way you can self medicate, including injections? Unless you can get yourself more well you won't be able to fight the NHS and your body will be sustaining other damage you can't see.
For information on how to source supplies you can look up my profile (click on my name) and see my post "My Experiences".
Good luck and please keep in touch.
We've been there and it's horrible but there is a solution. If you need more help please ask again.
Really hope that the shot on Friday gives you a window.
Quite worrying that a dementia unit doesn't seem to know much about B12 or even care about it - but unfortunately not surprising.
Have you contacted that PAS at all?
