"It’s give you a few exercises then bye bye"

About: Cheltenham General Hospital

When the rheumatologist said she was going to send me for hydrotherapy & Physiotherapy. I thought well I’ve seen them before & all it is a one appointment & they gave me a few exercises then that’s it. As I just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia I thought it might be different but I was hopeful because when I spoke to the physiotherapist they got someone from not being able to hardly move to doing marathons. I spoke to them 4 times & then it was I don’t need to see you again because you’re doing the pain management course which is boring as hell & very patronising. I’m not really shocked because I’m not bent over double than there can’t anything wrong with me. They’re as bad with invisible illness as people who you meet are, you don’t look sick, so you’re waste of my time. I won’t waste my time with Physiotherapy again.
