God I hate the NHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called the Rheumotology Department where my referral is pending. Last Friday they wanted to give me an appointment the first week of November, which is when we will bein California. So she said they would have to see me sooner and she had to refer it and they would call m. That was over a week ago. I clld, she said oh yes, its in the system - takes abuot 8 weeks and they will call you...... You don;t even want to know what I told her. So now the appointment wil be even later then it was, when they said it was too far out of standard. Goi figure.
So, I went to my doc. I am now getting concerned as my throat is constrcting. Its difficult and painful to swallow and when I lay down I feel as if my airways are being blocked off and I start to choke - so spent a fair amount of time back and forth between bed and the lounge.
So my docs not in today. I get to see Doogie Howser. All of 14 years old and probably never heard of Spondylosis. Trys telling me it probably a cold. You try to tell a doctor you know your body, and that it is not a cold, and they look at you like you are nuts.
Then he proceeded to diss LL.
I told him I was taking 8 Tramadol a day and not relieveing the pain.
He told me to take Ibuprofin.
WTF????????????????
I give up. I really do. I juts grabbed my purse and said thanks anyway and left.
That was after waiting 45 minutes for my appointment.
Grrrrrrrrr.
