I'm sorry that you had to contact them yourself @Sparklebright63, but am glad that you got an appointment in the end  

How are you getting on with the spray? 

How are you feeling about the scans?

Hi @Sparklebright63 glad things are on the move for you hopefully things will be good with your scan,
when you said you didn't receive the clinics letters were you expecting them through the post or via email ?

Sparklebright63

Via Post didn't recive until after I contacted them to ask where my letters were I cannot belive they R so Slow in contacting people.

Hi to you.

I did get letters by text but cancelled them as when I had to put number in to read them it wasn't the correct one due to it not being done properly at the hospital end complicating things eg I didn't get to read the letters was very annoying.

Just wondering now if it's the hospitals fault or royal mails with these letters, wouldn't it be great if we had a text or something to say to expect a letter.
I have had a few letters sent via email, with no problems - so worrying when your expecting appointments.

Hi to all,

Just an update from Yesterday woke up on the night with Chest pain again had gtn spray didn't help
Tried to sleep when I woke up 2nd time still same used more spray phoned doctors they said I had to go to a& e which I did .

They did all the usual tests ect and Said I have costochronditis in my chest take pain killers and codine but it dosnt suit me.
So will make appointment at doctors

I  sure this condition is to do with Rheumatiod arthritis where will I find out

Chest still sore and I have this other places so I am not right happy 😔 at the moment.

I am also sweating right bad day and night clothes pjs wet.

Hello @Sparklebright63 I'm sorry to hear what's happened overnight, that must be quite upsetting.

How are you feeling now, have you got someone with you?

Did you say when they told you to take pain killers and codeine that they don't suit you? Did they suggest anything else which might help?

I wonder would setting up a fan at night help with the sweating do you think? Or perhaps some lighter bedsheets?

Hi @Sparklebright63 sorry to hear about your night, hope your feeling better now, might be an idea to talk things over with your Doctor, have you tried sleeping with your pillow more up right, just an idea.

Sparklebright63

Hi to you.

I carnt sleep like that it's not comfortable as I have rheumatiod arthritis.

Thanks for explaining @Sparklebright63, do you think a thinner bed sheet or lighter pjs would help?
