Hi Guys, I can't belive what happened to me, I was told by my sons social worker I should get registered as disabled, I was refered by my local authority and had my appoint last week, the lady said I should be claiming ESA (i'm on IS) so I go to my Dr and she gives me a sick note for 3 months, I ask her to give me a print out of the report when I attended the emergancy walkin at the hospital, on the advise of NHS Direct, who said I should go in the next 6 hours. anyway lady Dr printed out the NHS call report, so when I get home I realise the error and call the surgery, receptionist tells me their printer is broken but will be fixed later that day and they can print it out for me, OK, so I go up to surgery the next day, take the NHS report with me explaining that Dr printed out wrong report and wanted the one where I attended EM Center, she tells me she can't find it, I say "well that's strange Dr Mr read it to me in my appoint with him, she get's her colleuge to lok she can't find it, so I ask her to leave a note for Dr Mr to print it off, well in the appoint with Dr Mr he told me the Dr I saw at hospitail thinks I was in flare, and she reported my lymph node was up behind my left ear, had to go there as had pain/hot left side of head behind left ear neck and shoulders/left arm was painful and burning, I had been into see Dr Mr that morning and he told me "not everything can be explained by medical science, so I was left to rot again with no help!!!  Right, so Dr Mr called me up Thurs asking what I wanted, he said he could not find it, so I said that was strange as he had read it to me, then he started having a go at me, saying, "he can't see DWP being interested in a raised lymph node, which he disgread with his colleuge about, as he just fumbbled around with his shovel hands really quick and said he could not find it, he contiued to say who DXed me with ME, I told him who, he then said Dr Mr2 was a locum and he is not qualified to dx me, a rhumatoligist can do that and a few years has gone by and I was talking in the past tense, I said arn't you asking me about what happended in the room with Dr Mr2 so of course I am talking in the past tense, he said well a few years has gone by I could have had it then but got better now, I should make a double appoint with him or Dr Mrs it doesn't matter and get this sorted out!!!   I said I have had bloods done seen many Dr's in the surgery and no one has said anything like this to me b4 now, He said I have had this and that bloods done but not so and so bloods done, I have not been tested for RA, Lime, arthritis etc, it could be any of them.  well how am I supposed to know that the bloods which was taken was tested for, it is their job to order the correct blood tests, Grrrrrrrrrr, I really gice up all I wanted was a bit more evidance for my esa claim and I get all this, so I think the reason he went on like that was because he deleted the Hospital report.  Sorry so long and thank you for reading this,Thank you for input.

    One doctor that I saw couldn't diagnose me, and when I asked for his help to get DLA he kindly wrote me a letter saying that in his opinion sick people should work. I'd like to see him work for a few hours with ME! eek

      That's typical Georgia, I feel like I have been left to rot, Dr Dxed me Oct 2013, Told me to do GET, Ha, There is no way I can do GET, I can;t even get out of bed, was left for over a year like this, just fobbed off with anti d's the fatigue is the worst part, twiichy/jelly legs, but now I have bad pain left side, head, neck, shoulders, arms back, knees, you name it it hurts.

       I never had any referal to rheumatologist so I guess that is the next step. Thanks for taking the time to reply

      They're t**ts! That'll probably be removed. I've been virtually bed bound for 10 years and with the cut backs, removal of care I feel like a rat on a council rubbish tip.

      I knew it'd be removed, why can't sick, scared, angry people express themselves? Ok, MSME I empathise!

    From what you have said I think the Dr is correct that DWP won't be interested in an emergency report if you are trying to get registered as disabled. For that you need a disability report, not a visit to A&E report.

    Have you had your ME diagnosed by a specialist, if not, that is what you need?

    You also need to understand what the criteria are that the DWP use to be registered as disabled. Just because you think you are disabled, doesn't mean you are.

      No wknight,  I have had no referal to rheumatologist, was just a GP at my surgery dxed, I was told by my sons social; worker to get reg disabled as ME is classed as a disability now. That was all.

      Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Sorry cant understand all of your post and experience, but get the gist of it.  l,m also having conflicts with gps, re getting tests, diagnosis and treatment, a long battle, which is wearying adding to stress and possibly worse symptoms, my battle is really just to get the best treatment l can, rather than months or years even go by living a life of debility restrictions and suffering.  l am speaking to quite a few people who are having problems getting referrals, treatment, with quite a rew resorting to going into a and e, which we know are overstretched, struggling, and some do abuse the system, very annoying when its self brought on with such as alcahol binging, but l also know a few whove had serious conditions diagnosed and treated from a and e.  One chaps coughing and breathlessness put down to virus over 2-3 visits to gp, leading to a and e where he collapsed with pneumonia, woke in i c. Anothers childs allergy with swelling turned out to by kidney leaking.

    Could say more, but it seems to be happening more often, whether down to some gps not being thorough, or reluctant to refer to specialists, l dont know, but it is adding to a and e overcrowding, but also some patients, l,m one also, who do feel theyre being left to it, not for days or weeks but months and years, which is very poor.  With all systems that are overstretched, some patientsare abusing, some patients neglected.  All l can say is get advice from support agencies and keep battling to any patients who are in genuine need and being dismissed neglected.

      Yes Lynne, it seems that we do have to battle, sorry you are in the same boat as me, god as if we don;t have enough to deal with, really gets on my nerves.  I haven't been to A&E as such, was an emergancy walk in center at the Hospital. the last place I want to be is in Hospitail and I do know there isn't much they can do for us anyway but would like to have just ONE day off from the pain.  On the bright side I suppose now he will have to refer me, just hope it isn't lyme, I have just about gotten used to ME, if that is possible.

      Thanks for taking the time to reply.

      hi, it was your comment `left to rot`, rung a bell with me, thats what it feels like at times, bad days, you think what to do to convince, do you have to film yourself, not as if anyone wants to feel so bad and waste days, months, if they can be helped, l had 2 good days last week, meaning l could potter in garden for an hour, and an hour in town without it being an endurance misery, l even hav some colour in my face, as opposed to pasty, and it felt normal and brilliant. Its more fatigue and nausea for me, just minor pain really, l cant believe ive days l will myself to get up, got to let cat and dog into garden,them then have drink and cereal bar to line tum, then its how long l can go without laying on sofa and sleeping, cant believe l need to do this. Good job at least l dont work, retired, poor ones who have to work, but on my own so have to rely on self for house and pet care,  as for those like you where it keeps them in bed its that bad, worse still,  if it cant be helped you deal with that best you can, but if its lack of test and diagnosis over a long time, not good enough. l used symptom checker and it came back as lyme,s, rarely heard of in uk, seems more known in usa. Notice 2 of posters theyve gone to private doc, if thats what it takes to speed up diagnosis treatment, its what l,ll do.  lve also to see doc in two days, will push for speed up on tests and scope, lve also wrote down all.

      Scuse long moan, bad few days and away l good luck at docs, keep going.

      Ah what horror seeing myself on film, oh the thougt, can stand how I look in the Mirror Lol   I have been looking at lyme now and god knows, it says very like ME/CFS/Fibro, I will find out for sure though now, he will send me off on my merry way to the appropriot place for formal Dx.  I have my partner here who does mostly all things, so I am lucky like that, I had to stop work due to a car accident 2011, and now this, so can't see me getting back to work any time soon but I will keep keeping on and Thanks.

    Hi msme, I have been through similar being diagnosed with a private dr and confirmed with the new gp at surgery, was put on medication for over a year, it all can to a head when it started to affect my work and I asked for a report as work were sending me to a ohp. Then I was told as the other gp had now left he could not do a report as he was not the dr that had diagnosed me? Then when I sent a letter I was called in and told that I should have had the diagnosis confirmed by a rheumatologist, I explained that I had asked to be referred but the gp at the time said this was not necessary and put me on medication but may need to refer me to a pain clinic once we had tried everything else... I was very angry at the way I was treated but jumped through all the hoops asked of me and now my dr is supportive, so hang on in there I think once they saw I was not going away and wanted help and answers and that I was being pro active also things changed for the better! I think the letters helped as I had time to address all my concerns in a reasonable way, which I found difficult to do during a 5 minute consultation! Please don't despair, best of luck x

      Hi Angel, My god don't we have to jump through hoops, but your experience is quite encorageong, but sorry you too had to go through all of that, it isn't easy how are we supposed to know that the GP at surgery is not enough, I have been back and forwards to them for months now due to the pain in my left arm and elsewere, they have all given me pills, I have seen six different Drs, none of them refered me any where, shm.  Lets hope now things can get on the move for me and glad you have a Dr on your side.

      Thanks for takong the time to reply.
