One thing about having Fibromyalgia is getting things done, or not as the case may be.
Things get overlooked or forgotten and then before you know it an age has passed and nothing has progressed.
I along with being bedroom bound have two Autistic children and an Autistic husband.
Back in the days when I was well I did everything and now staying awake is a task.
So today I tried to find some sort of walk in clinic that deals with women's health. I need to get my daughter to see a female as she (and all of us) does not like our GP.
Wow you would think I had asked to join the Masons. I joke when people ask where do you live and say the 1800's!
Today is yet another example of that.
We asked the GP's surgery if they ever have a female Locum....NO.
Is there a walk in women's health clinic....NO.
Could she see the practise nurse instead....NO.
Googled it and a clinic we went to when the children were little to get their Autism diagnosis popped up so I sent an email.
They wrote straight back and asked who was she "under" for her Autism.....ummmm no one.
Like most things in this country you are diagnosed and left to get on with things.
Then they asked for her name, DOB, address etc and I thought Yay they are going to help.....NO.
They said she HAS to see her GP for a referral to the hospital, well that isn't going to happen so now what?
I'm worried if things are left unaddressed further down the road it may be a problem.
Also I am worried I will leave it for a few days and then forget altogether and as my husband relies on me to do all the online organising "stuff" it will never be sorted.
I remember when I lived in London I could just walk into a clinic and be seen, now it is a nightmare even getting a GP who gives a shit about his patients.
Oh how I want to move!
