Doctors Appointment Update

Turbogran

Hi everyone
Thanks everyone for your support on my last post yesterday.
Well update time saw doctor today and of course silly me ended up in tears because she seemed to actually be interested (I had asked for a different doctor to the one I have had on previous occasions so as to get a different opinion) she was in fact very nice and listened to what I had to say. She agreed that I had'nt I had not had a review for a long time and that I perhaps needed a few things checked out. had Blood Pressure taken that was within normal range, i have to have bloods taken on Friday and an ECG on Monday. also been given Amitriptyline 10mg 1 at night and have to see her again in two weeks. Still on other meds also. OH asked when was I going to open up my own pharmacy

Turbogran..

Thats great news.. I'm really glad you were able to open up to the doctor and she actually listened... that makes such a difference..
Now she has got the ball rolling, hopefully things will pick up, maybe tonight with the amtriptyline you will get a good nights sleep i did.. Just take them between 7-8 so you are not to groggy in the morning..
Nice you feeling a bit better..
Regarding the pharmacy ... i think we could all prob open one up... we are all rattling lol...xx

Hi Carol,

So glad you had a good result with your doctor, so glad she listened to you and put you on something to help you sleep at night.

You are starting to get somewhere now, of that I'm very pleased for you.

Thanks Ladies
it certainly dose help when you feel they are listening val the other doctor who they always seem to give me app with is not to bad but you always seems to give you that sickly smile that says am i really interested in what your telling me. Have just taken 1st amitriptyline about 20 mins ago and I usually go to bed around 10 so will see how they go. If too groggy in morning then i'll adjust the timing.
