Hi All
Hope everyone is staying well and truly safe in these difficult times. Thank you to everyone for letting me offload recently, I have gotten myself well and truly into a right pickle these last few weeks.
I called my GP monday to request i have the coil taken out. Never really wanted it in anyway (only agreed as advised by gynae and was told could have it removed at any time if not happy) and have had no end of problems since it was inserted in January. Anyway, got told I couldn't be seen. All clinics stepped down and no hope of having it out any time soon. Contacted sexual health clinic on wednesday and due to my symptoms said I needed to be seen urgently. Was seen that morning and was told my coil was not in properly so needed removing there and then. I had a partial coil expulsion. So relieved it's out.
Why oh why do we constantly need to chase for things to be done and done properly? It really bugs me. I get that mistakes happen but geesh, sometimes there are just no words.
My mental health has really suffered with everything and i have been very compliant and proactive with seeking help and self management. But omg it's hard.
Surgery cancelled indefinitely for obvious reasons. No longer see GP regularly because of COVID - that line of support has abruptly stopped. Health visitor was meant to be calling me today, booked in her diary apparently so I waited in all day to speak to her. No phone call at all. Contacted local counselling service , currently closed indefinitely and told to 'hang on in there'. I was under local talking therapy. Received letter cancelling all treatment indefinitely. No phone call option as my therapy needs face to face treatment apparently. Contacted PALS at advice of GP - not to complain but to find out what services are running locally. Only two options neither of which I meet the referral criteria for. Feel like giving up now. Not only am I the patient but doing all the running around trying to access what help I can.
Is anyone else having this difficulty?
