Loose Woman

[Nackapan]

Today Colleen talked about fatigue

She was told the menopause.

Is a vegan.

Told pre diabetic type 2

I've emailed loose women as a good platform.

Was her B12 tested .?

Even if it was tested it should've been stated /discussed on the programme as very relevant to the topic !

Hope I get a reply

Yes. Good idea .

[Narwhal10]

Welldone Nackerpan,

Allbeit I didn't watch the programme i'm keeping my fingers crossed you get a reply. 🤞

If we persist we will be heard. 📣👂

[Nackapan in reply to Jillymo]

So far I've had the reply everyone gets :We are always interested to hear from our viewers da de da....

Have filled in the are you satisfied? Form sent after.

Then sent another email more specific .

Will see.

It just shouted out red flags .

[Jillymo in reply to Nackapan]

I received a similar response from the the Care Opinion who directed me to Pals & the Ombudsman ! I didn't write a damned complaint it was facts about the lack of understanding of a B12 deficiency and poor management ! 🤔

Maybe if more of us email the programme we will be heard. 🤞

Yrs I've passed on comments for better understanding and processes for education.

Treated as a complaint .m

??

Wasn't on 3 different occasions and said so.

The only way I found effective was to phone snd speak to a charge nurse on a ward.

Not documented I know but was recieved with interest and I felt would be acted on or at least raised with colleagues.

[MrsTuft]

or folate or iron or thyroid etc…

[Nackapan in reply to MrsTuft]

Yes. B12 the obvious one to highlight given the topic.

And this forum.

The rest on raising awareness follows hopefully.

It eas just too obvious not to mention given ;

1. Symptoms

2. Vegan diet

3. Blaming the menopause yet again.

[MrsTuft in reply to Nackapan]

We don’t want to be blinkered by our PA either. A friend of mine is really sick either extremely low folate. It could be so many things.

[Nackapan in reply to MrsTuft]

Oh yes i agree.Not blinkered

On the topic Loose women portrayed I just thought an opportunity to raise awareness of b12 deficiency especislly as a vegan

Also as diagnosed with borderline type 2 diabetes, metaformin may also be prescribed that as we know further reduces b12.

I hope your friend improves

[Narwhal10 in reply to Nackapan]

Her mother had Alzheimer’s disease too. 🧐

[Nackapan in reply to Narwhal10]

Yes.
