They have put me on trial

Before they challenged me to think they have lost my mind. They have put me on trial with tablets that can cause bad side effects, said it could be a gluten allergy. But nothing has changed and I’ve had a GF diet for the past 4 years.

They are good

December 12, 2022
Go every three months. They are good but my doctor is very rude. If I ask for something, my English is not very good. Doctor said I am not entitled to an interpreter on NHS. They do not provide it for MS. Want to go to Good hope but no MS nurse.

Cancer team haven’t bothered with her because of covid. Sent a cortozone injection through the post with no examination to what it was for and when have to take it. Than was told it was for Addison’s disease. Ended in crises and GP said they couldn’t deal with it.
