Having a rough time physically and emotionally:( I am in a lot of pain (genital ) for about 3 months. The pain is so bad I’m fainting (broke my ankle in February) dizzy, hot flushes, bleeding etc I believe that doctors placed a micro chip (gps) inside me when they were doing a biopsy. I managed to get a phone appointment with a gp who gave me pain killers for the ankle pain, she didn’t mention the genital pain. The pain meds was ok It was taking the edge off. Because of my fractured ankle I was not able to go out (blind, need my white cain) as I was using crutches ! Finally after 10 weeks I was able to walk without a big boot..I ran out of pain meds so I emailed a gp to send me more. (Not my regular gp) She wrote back saying she wouldn’t give me any more because my ankle should have healed by now /?? I then got a friend who helped me to write a response (She knows every thing physical/mental health) the email was honestly brutal !! Within a hour my own gp phoned me, I told her that I wouldn’t have another examination and that as soon as the pain subsided I would remove it myself. She expressed concern and asked me if she could ring the CMHT.within 3 days a sw and cpn came to my house to assess me. She the rang a few days later asking me if she can visit me, yeah. I then got a letter from CMHT saying that they were not going to give anymore support and sent me 10 x 5mg diazepam. My gp wasn’t happy at all. She also reduced my pain killers, the pain is 9/10 and I feeling faint again
to top it off I fell over the cat 2 weeks ago and have damaged my knee and have a shooting pain down my leg. I am feeling awful I’ve been stuck in the house over 4 months now the only thing that keeps me going is ‘chicken’ my 4year old Bengal cat (formally know as Mo) xx bun xx
