Good Morning Folks
I hope you're all well. So sorry for not giving you folks an update. I have had some bad family news regarding Covid19 recently, so have been occupied with comforting relatives etc..
Anyway, I took my completed access to medical history request form to my doctors on 4th Aug. On the form it stated that records would be available within 3 weeks. However, I only got a call from the surgery last week and I collected them. Perhaps they have been busy with Covid19 etc?
On my medical tnotes, there are a fair few medical terms that I do not understand. Do you suggest that I search online for meanings etc or shall I make an appointment with the doctor to discuss?
I am also thinking of joining some online groups for support and advice from individuals who have the same medical conditions. In this case, do you tihnk I should just search on the internet for such groups, or use other social media such as Facebook?
Thank you
Brightness
