I am quite ill now, it came on slowly but effectively I am housebound and often bed bound.
I have numerous health issues both physical and mental but around 4 months ago started getting quite violent diarrhea.  Being diabetic I wonder if it is linked but cant figure out if this is the case.  I also have sleep problems not helped by constantly having to go to the toilet.  I have a significant daily medical bill on tablets that I cant get the GP to prescribe.
To be honest I have no faith in my local GP surgery at all because you simply can not get help after about 0915 in the morning.  As with many surgeries they operate a triage system but as I said after 0915 you are stuffed - try again the next day !  (to get the same outcome?)
The NHS is not working for me.  This is the second time I have had to come on here this year and I am sick of this very poor practice in Kilmarnock.  They cannot manage a sensible system that allows urgent requests to be dealt with, often without seeing a clinician.  You can't e-mail them, you cant get through to them to help you.  It is a disgrace.
My recent request was for a drug that I have been prescribed before, but not for some years.  I was told to ring at 0830 in the morning - but you cant get through and I could e-mail them - but this isn't offered as an option.  What sort of care is this?
If you complain you can be blacklisted, so what am I meant to do?
