complaining

Avatar f tn ve tried complaining to the patient liason services within the NHS and they were going to proceed to inform my previous doctor who I've had all these problems with. The only thing I can do I guess is say to my new doctors that I'm suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism and to ask if I can be put on a thyroid (T4) medication. How well that'd pan out I'm not sure. Thanks for your advice.
Avatar f tn I think you can get it on the NHS-depends on the local Patients Trust or whatever it's called.Speak to the consultant in the first instance.
1421489 tn?1285525635 Hey everyone, I have my first appointment with my new neuro on Wednesday. I'm seeing this neuro having moved to the NHS from the private system - I was diagnosed with MS this summer by my previous neuro and have lesions in my c-spine and brain as per the 2 MRIs that I've had so far. Anyway, I was wondering at what point people should get prescribed with a DMD - should I be pushing for a prescription from the first meeting?
541196 tn?1293552936 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
1048927 tn?1271834011 Hi hun i can tell you what i know but i do know that different areas in the country differ in cost.I am from the angus area and ninewells in dundee are charging £4000 for IVF and £300-£500 for IUI but depends on if you need medication also so that will be extra.If you go private it will cost more.I am 41 and have to pay and my fiance also has a daughter so for some reason they take that into consideration.If you are 39 or younger i believe you qualify for a free shot on the NHS apparently.
Avatar f tn 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!

Avatar m tn Most of the people on this site reside in the states. You might want to ask the hiv specialists on the hiv international forum. Both live in the UK and work at the same clinic called freedom health.
1510767 tn?1290096394 Is it true that if you go private and you do need T3 drugs the NHS will provide them and you will get tested for T3 in the future on the NHS?
551343 tn?1506830518 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.
Avatar n tn Hi I am from the UK but currently live in the US so know how both systems work. I would recommend seeing the specialist privately in the UK. It's usually not too expensive and you can be seen within days. For something like your eyes, this is a good investment believe me. In the US, you can see whoever you want......but believe me also when I tell you the bills are scary. Even with insurance! Don't hate on the NHS just yet.
Avatar f tn Hi AA Good grief. 12 years is utterly intolerable and , to my mind, despicable. It's absolutely no help or consolation, but a close family member of mine was in this sort of limboland for 15yrs. And now, I've been caught up in this circle of hell that is called the NHS. Then there's Maria of course whose trials have been ongoing for years too.
1536705 tn?1324329047 you cant book your own midwife appointment, once you have been referred the midwifes then contact you with a date (28th feb finally) on that day il then get booked in for a later scan...yes the nhs is free (technically not...i pay contributions every month by law out of my salary) but it is shoddy!
547117 tn?1264765067 I could pay for my IVF privately but because i pay my national insurance every month i am entitled to 3 courses free off of the NHS but because the list is so long this is why there is a 3 year wait to have the treatment.
Avatar f tn 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.
427279 tn?1210919821 My legs were numb and my back was killing me, so I decided that it would be easier to sit on the floor in front of the machines to load the washer. Everything went pretty good until it came time for me to get up. I could not. My legs did not want to work with me. After getting mad. I thought about my baby on my bed and I knew that I had to get up. I could not leave him there until someone came home 4 hours later. I thought of the show Lassie and began hollering for my dog Diamond.
