Just returned home after visit to physiotherapist and I am afraid I let her have both barrels!
I am sick to death of hearing my daily routine is the’wrong kind’ of exercise! By the end of each day I feel I am dying and cannot move another muscle let alone stand at the kitchen sink throwing my legs all over the place! Even with the help of the sink my ankles give way and over I go! Shall I do as instructed and call 999 at the outcome - no of course not I am not stupid enough to exceed my limitations even if they say I should.
I told her I am done with GP’s who just read from Dr Google when they have forgotten what they learned and are not interested in learning anymore. -I know my own body better than them it’s been mine for79 years.
I KNOW I probably have Pernicious Anaemia as all the signs have pointed in that direction for years and further back still if you count what I remember about my parents. But THEY know better-they who refuse to look at different parts of a body as a whole.
As many of you I know know so much more of this illness than those who think they know it all. Bit jumbled that’ll be the brain fog then (the what)!
Seriously though I have reached a point where for my health’s sake I need to do more for myself. I have most of the recommended reading and after last B12 at181 (lower limit is 180 so normal no action needed) no help available there.
Other problems all point in this direction they could have used me to write the books on PA/B12.
I have started SI EOD so hopefully soon some signs of improvement I look such an idiot at bedtime with my furry Christmas slippers in this heat!
My diabetes 2 is improving to nearly pre-diabetes but still manages to be the cause of stone cold feet and legs and pins and needles and my excruciatingly painful ankle although broken and sprained in the past cannot be arthritis but also diabetic neuropathy even though refusing to even Xray.
Having recently been investigated because of urogenital problems and incidentally being discovered with several haemangeoma on my spine on 3/4 vertebra which have apparently been fine over the past 5 years even though never diagnosed despite awful back pain being uninvestgated ever!
Enough of that I know you get the picture and the reason I stormed out saying watch the headlines and know you are part of the reason which of course I should not have said but such a relief nevertheless. It is how I feel -I do not know where I will get the strength to draw my next breath.
I have no access to a GP. I wrote an official complaint in MaY which I was assured would be dealt with within 6 weeks and am still waiting. Following test results which have appeared on my notes with suggested prescriptions these have not been actioned even though it says patient to be reassured and or contacted - nothing. I cannot change GP as rural and no others with in reach
OK finger dead and still no carpal tunnel surgery in sight dominant hand I declare this rant over!
WAKE UPiam going now!
