Why have I been signed up to this without my permission?

•

Which total NHS twit signed me up to this without my permission? If anyone had bothered to talk to me they’d find out I’ve lost over 2 stone all on my own. This is highly infuriating. As far as exercise goes it’s a bit tricky when I’ve had a stroke!!! And lost use of my legs! Well done NHS

Hope this is ok - I’m sorry to hear of your health problems - I use a wheelchair and I’m really struggling to lose weight. I just made a post. Please can I ask - did you do anything specific to lose weight? Well done btw!

Perhaps they saw it as a referral?

I've been passed on to half a dozen other departments to try and find out about something untoward on a scan, usually you just kind of ho along with whatever, but I think no-one else can help you when what's required is a lifestyle change
