"Difficult to get appointments"

About: Torrington Park Group Practice

I had my pneumococcal vaccine 2:40, 18 Dec 2023 at 13:30 to 14:30, then my

Shingles vaccine as I'm 65yrs old.

Cough started 3 weeks later - pneumonia. March '24 needed antibiotics + chest x-rays showed left lung pneumonia).

Then needed 2nd + 3rd antibiotics - which didn't work I had to go to A&E following Monday 18/3/24 (7hr wait 100 visitors) at Barnet Hospital. They gave me blood tests, chest x-rays they measured my oxygen saturation (I had trouble breathing) and put me onto a drip as I was continuously sick for 2 days previously so put on am IV Drip and prescribed a week of anti-sick tablets, also another week of anti-biotic. The next day I had to request a steroid spray 'Clenil Midulite' from my GP to be taken 2x per day x 2 doses.

I'm slowly getting better but I think it's all because I had the vaccines in December?!

I have an ultra scan appointment next Saturday 20 for my kidneys at Barnett Hospital.
