My doctor told me it is much better to see them and they would much rather I did than not, even if there is no problem. I am in the UK but don't know where you are. Take care of yourself love. Bev xx

I remember feeling absolutely dreadful a few months ago. I couldn't walk more than 20 yards before having to stop and bend over trying to breathe and felt so ill I thought I was dying.
I didn't realise it was so bad until I went outside so didn't have an appointment with a doctor but decided to go and ask to see someone. I was told by 2 young receptionists (sticking their pert little noses in the air) that the emergency dr was out and they didn't know when she would be back, trying to put me off waiting and obviously just hoping I would meekly go away.
So I said forcibily 'I have copd, I feel very ill and I will wait to see her no matter how long it takes'. They then said 'oh she has just got back' and ill though I was I had a very strong urge to deck them both in their pert little noses! I got in and apparently had a severe chest infection.
If they had still refused I would have said I am going to ER and will tell them exactly how I have been treated here.
Don't give up fighting for your right to have treatment and information love. Bev xx
