I was sitting on Xmas day and started to shiver however sweat was dripping off me. I started getting pain in my lower back and passing in the toilet was agony. I knew instantly this was my kidneys again. I phoned NHS 24/7 and was put to the out of hours doctor. I explained this is the 7th time it has happened and I need to go to hospital as iv is the only way it gets better as taken tablets doesn’t work- this doctor didn’t listen and sent me home. Soon I was 100x worse and was struggling to keep anything down ( including water! ) and ended up being sent to a& e. This is where I was assessed and told I was staying in for treatment and it was the best service iv had. All nurses were so polite and listened to me, they went above and beyond for me.
