Grumpy Old Git Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Morning All. I do like listening to the birdsong in the morning. 4 Quote
Mawsley Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Afternoon peeps, Off to the doc again in a bit. Originally told I had scabies - we did everything but set fire to the house and everything we own. Then it was clear to me it wasn't scabies - not least because no one else in the house has caught it. Then was told it was "non-specific" when I went a second time - which I guess is doctor for "I've no idea what you have wrong with you". His solution didn't work, I still itch like a mofo. And now I have purple itchy lumps in places where I'd rather have no unsightly lumps at all. Here's to the doc being able to Google better this time. 2 2 Quote

S-Westerly Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 Sometimes I think we could do without GP's altogether. Just use an NHS approved online computer which you could interact with. Couldn't be worse, unless it was hacked of course.... 2 1 Quote
Mickly Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I’ve just had tomorrows yearly GP (although I think it’s with the practice nurse) check up postponed for 2 weeks due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ which I’m quite happy about as it allows more time to recover from the Xmas excess beforehand. 1 4 Quote

Fourth different lotion to be applied. Third different type of pill. Two months in, getting by on a few hours kip a night, still banned from using soaps and shampoos...I'm becoming a slightly unpleasant person to live with. Given I have a thing about hygiene, this is really getting to me 1 3 Quote

Mawsley Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Aaaaand of course there's no lotion in stock. That'll be another week of little sleep. I'm starting to feel as perma-tired as I did when the kids were little. 3 Quote

I'm convinced the nurse practitioner at our local surgery has been hacked already. 2 Quote
