You secured an actual physical appointment? We just fill in an econsult thingy and then wait weeks for a telephone call.

I am very fortunate and lucky to have a decent GP and surgery. I see my Gp every month or so as a safety net and because there are always things going wrong with my mind and body.
Part of the reason for this is the mental health service in my area is rubbish and offer no support so my GP has picked up some of that shortfall

I had a panic attack..I woke up rather shaken. I checked my account and found out one of the payments of housing benefits is like 50 something pounds less than normally get. It comes in two parts. I am assuming this will be the last payment until I get UC... But is this normal. I am scared the new UC when it rolls up all be a lot less...

Anyway I hope I will feel better. I got my Fridays commitments. And will get back home at 5 as it gets busy. And another day. But all this is a torture. Not as hot so it helps to sleep a bit better .. have a nice day.

evening everyone, I hope you’re all okay.
Well my day started out well and then took a nose dive. 4 years ago I asked my Dr if he could arrange for me to have an x-ray of my hips. He said he would be laughed out of the hospital if he did this. My hips have been so painful to the point of me finding it difficult to walk. Then I’m not able to sleep due to feeling like I was lying on a brick. Anyway I saw a different Dr about 4 weeks ago and he immediately sent me for an x-ray of my hips! The results came back saying I have bone spurs an impingement. So he referred me to orthopaedics who have replied saying in the first instance physio is recommended. I have been having physio for the last 3/4 years off and on due to back pain. I got so upset because I feel like I have been in pain forever and they clearly didn’t know how long this has been going on. I feel like no one believes me and wondering do I imagine all this. Then to top it off they commented my BMI is high and have I considered lowering it. I am so upset and frustrated. I just don’t know where to turn or what to do. I’ve totally had enough. I seem to be going round in circles and just now getting anywhere. 😭

Great! Still sitting the sun but dog is demanding his tea, and so that'll have to take precedence.
Will do usual 6 -10 mile dog walk at about 22:00 (usually 7ish before I get bored sitting on scooter)

@westpest i have similar issues and yes it is very difficult to do x rays apparently. Issue again apparently is there are not people available to do it. so they will not sent people to xrays unless strictly necessary and they decided about who has priority or not. i deal with hospitals and not even the hospital. i will see my neurologist and i hope this time as he is a new one i think he might do it .. Maybe try to impose it . say vyou need it. and if not . change your g p .. i am not sure because it is frustrating.. point is they do not say not.. only they do not do it. they do not send you …. i tried physio as well… and it does not work for me,. paint is awful and i am sure something is going on inside.. and my last neurologist said if something is wrong inside you wiill know. how will i know …. i can not see inside..
my last option is going to be going private. paying monthly and paying for that xray. but i can not afford it. so i do not know what to do… same issue with the bone specialist. my doctors are tying to send me there.. but they do not want to see me. they think i am complaining for nothing. it is very frustrating.. i wonder if i pay if they would refuse an xray etc.. of course not.

I've had a great day.
Done a bit of retail therapy, items for my home and I bought a blazer reduced from £24 to £4
