complaining in the uk

Most of us are in the U.S. and would not be able to answer your question, as we don't know the rules surrounding your NHS. You should check with your local authorities. Or you could check with another clinic to see. We do find that the NHS does not, often, allow for adequate thyroid testing/treatment, and many of our members do have to go private in order to get adequate care. Do you know the exact TSH level? Some doctors refuse to begin treatment until TSH is quite high.

I'm 28 weeks 3 days and even though the pool isn't always the cleanest because of all the kids at the apartments, I'm still in it on a daily basis.

It wont just be me or the other two as i copied the link and sent this to 3 other friends with fibro and i am sure they will send it on as i thought it was so important for others to know information i cant believe how behind we are in this country the uk we treat the dying better then we do those who live there lives in chronic constant pain there does not seem to be any help for us its like we have to go away and just live like this there are MS nurses,cancer nurses,muscular dystrophy nurse et

Anyone in the UK made a complaint against a GUM clinic? How does one retain anonymity? I'm still fizzing at them for Making incorrect and untruthful notes on the record. Despite being told the FACTS they have noted their INCORRECT OPINIONS. Accusing me of using a prostitute.. When corrected about their incorrect opinions accucsed me of lying. Accusing me of lying not once but twice. A member of staff was very rude to me when I went in for meds.

My question is, is this drug only prescibed in the US? I myself had never heard of it here in the UK. Does anybody know if it perhaps has another name here in the UK or do we just not use the drug? I currently take Diazapam or Ativan for extreme attacks but it would be nice to have something to take on a regular basis that does the same thing but without the same addictive qualities and to perhaps stop me from getting myself into a state in the first place? Does anyone know about this???

I'm having one. I'm in Australia. We aren't telling anyone the sex of the baby until the shower so my partners mum has done the pink and blue theme. We have games, a bbq lunch and desert. They have a pool, and stuff so being summer here should be good. But I'm not doing the girlie shower it's a moved family one.

Thanks for your comments - it seems that with NICE and reduction in benefits, MS-ers are having a bad time of it in the UK at the moment (disclaimer: only in comparison with the prior UK situation, not in comparison to the US...) Is anyone out there in the UK and on DMDs? If so, did the neuro prescribe them as a matter of course, or did it take a while?

t stressed enough about having to pay for it, I got a bill yesterday from the hospital for the thyroid sonogram (which by the way came back completely normal) for $600. This blows. I just don't want to spend this kindof money on these things. I like to hord my money and spend it on fun things. LOL.

I feel exactly the same way you do.. I'm 37+2. I don't want to do anything but lay in bed. All the pains are horrible. I couldn't walk the other day due to back pain. I want her out but then I think the longer she's in there the healthier shell be. I have a 4 yr old son and I'm at a pizza arcade place right now but ugh I have no energy. LOL. Not to much longer.

in the UK an expert on Lymes from Porton Down was saying that once you have lymes and it is in your there is no cure, and he was complaining about all the bogus treatments in the states and said they were useless. So that made me feel really depressed. I have been having councelling now and feel a lot better in my head and can finally cope better with what is going on in my life. anyway just wondered if this is normal for Lymes. Thanks guys. Maria who has come back from the dead so to speak.

I wish people stop complaining about what questions other people post... Either read it or don't! answer it or don't! I know this may seem hypocritical cuz i am doing the same thing right more but whatever! Don't read mine either!

Hi I too am in the UK and I am afraid our GP's don't seem to be very good at dealing with this illness. I spent 2 years when first diagnosed being told my blood tests were normal whilst feeling awful, my main symptom being anxiety when my levels are wrong. I gained weight and was told by my gp that this wasn't a sympton just an excuse!

In the UK, do they check for dilation? Only really heard it done in USA, and I'm 37 haven't been checked so far!

Im in not the uk. Im in the us... but 6-8 week waiting list for housing is nothing!! Here in Maryland where I live, the waiting list is 2-5 years!!! Good luck to you tho!!

Although I have been doing some research on trying to find a place that would be able to do a similar test in the UK (also in the USA it seems) This breath gas test seems to be the only real test that has brought up complications in our breath and clothes etc. I am going to try and email the company tonight and find out some more information and costs. I'm sure it's going to be really expensive, so I just want to make sure that it will be beneficial before I commit.

I never knew about the oozing, the abscesses, possibility of mastectomy even (not sure if that is done in the UK or what) etc so each time I think I've reached the worst bit something else happens to make me realise it wasn't so bad before! It's really stressful too. So to ramble but I'm glad I'm not alone and glad things are improving for you. Some way to go for me.

Thank you i am based un Essex but am happy to travel if i need to.

Hi there, just wondering if there is anyone out there in the uk who could put me onto any good UK thyroid sites! I LOVE this one and it is so helpful but just occasionally I get confused by the fact that our health systems work differently, (from the US), and some of our testing methods are too.

What are the best nappies to buy for newborns in the UK??? Today I was recommended aldis nappies?

Can you ask for a copy of your test results? Then you can see for your own eyes which test was run. I know, in many ways, the British NHS is much different than the U.S. healthcare system. But in the U.S., you have to right to request copies of your medical records. If I'm not mistaken, the CD57 panel isn't a test used in the mainstream to diagnose Lyme disease.
