    C`mere while I give you a big hug Barb. You must feel like crying. Take a little time to get over this, and then, back to the drawing board. You mustn`t give up. You have pain, and no proper explanation for it, and you need one.

    By the way, is this Wrightington? They really are getting a pretty bad press lately. I notice Elaine is waiting to get an appointment there. Lets hope it goes better for her......Take great care......Much love.......Ange.
    Aw thanks Ange..it was wrightinton, the more I think about it the more angry I get, my OH says put a complaint in, but i am not one foe complaining..(wimp comes to mind) and they are doing my THR dont want to put there noses out :roll:

    Ok Barbara

    I think now you have to ask to see yopur GP when you think they have the letter they will get from him (check first?)

    He may say something to them which he hasnt said to you.

    AND next time you go you dont go alone take hubby and us lot too :x

    We''kll sort 'im!

    Love

    Barbara :shock:

    How awful what a let down, am so sorry. I can't advise on rheumy appointments, but do let your GP know you felt fobbed off!!!! There are no other words for it. One thing I have learned from the lovely peeps on here is to keep pestering, we shouldn't have too but oh boy it does sometimes seem to be the only way.

    I send big

    Hi Barbara,

    Well...... That's bad and worth f our hospital in most departments (never rumo though) Its so wrong as well....

    I think your best way forward is to see the gp and ask to see someone else, unless the bloods come up with something (at least they did that bit!)

    You can't ask for a second opinion cus you haven't had a first yet!

    I don't complain either though an thinking I might have to re eyes.....

    See the gp and tell them how appallingly bad the appointment actually was!

    Sending ((((( ))))) and hopes. Love Cris xx

    Hi Chris,

    Don't you go doing too much!!!

    I know I am late getting back to you but promise I will. Not been so good the last week or so but leaving you a ((((( ))))) xxx

    Hi Barbara,
    That was awful for you. Was it the one you were supposed to see?
    Glad you have got your fighting sprit back. Go girl :D
    Yes back to the Dr's although I suspect he/she will want to see the report first.
    Hope you get a better out come soon.
