Hi im writing this today as im at my wits end last September I was heading to tescos to grab some shopping and upon trying to walk home I had a sudden pain across the whole of my back and I collapsed I was unconscious for 15 or so mins b4 I came round and managed to pull myself up and drag myself home. 2 days after, I was admitted to york hospital where I explained the problem. They looked at my heart as they thought I'd had a possible stroke. I was treated with statins due to irregularities.
Speed forward to march, when I collapsed again to be taken to york and again they looked at my heart. Xrays and finally a ct scan was requested where upon further investigation it turned out I had a fractured t12 in my spine. I was told that I needed to follow up with my gp.
Speed 4 ward again to may/june and still no help from gp I was rushed to york again due to no feelings in my left leg and toilet probs where again I had another ctscan to find l2/l3/l4/l5/l6 had collapsed and t12 fractured. The hospital and was told I have problems where my spine is like I am 85, and its a prob with the bones basically.
After a while, the nurse was very rude in the fact I wanted help was rushed in a ambulance, yet they threw me out the hospital without a way to get home and said it was not there responsibility so I was stranded and had to beg a stranger to pay for a cab to get home. I didnt ask to go hospital, I was ordered to go being unemployed I was given a walker and told I had to leave the hospital.
I was advised to talk to my gp about the problem, upon trying unsuccessfully to get a face 2 face with gp in july, I still needed help but was refused help. The gp said they were not responsible for getting in contact with physio, I would need to do that myself, which I thought eh not right. I also asked about what was happening regarding my diagnosis yet my doctor refused to diagnose the obvious problem.
I have been trying to apply to pip for over 1 year and due to no communications between hospital and gp I am in limbo. I find this absolutely crazy that there has been no diagnosis but told its a degenerative bone disorder at the hospital, so I am at a loss. I cannot walk too far and the speed its accelerating. I am now in even more pain as I feel my shoulders and neck are now showing signs of more damage due to trying 2 even do anything :(
Physio were useless the gp was useless, and I feel ive been mistreated. ontop of the back problem, I suffer from bi-polar and the fact im in constant pain. My anxiety and depression is through the roof .. I am very worried I daren't not go out due to collapsing. I have troubles at home with basic chores, but im being ignored. no occupational therapy nothing so im left feeling suicidal and hopeless and scared :(
I have to goto york again on the 14/10 for a stress test and im panicking I cant cope and i feel totally lost my mental health advocate is doing all he can but even that isnt helping as the last year pip want the diagnosis they want the reports but there not willing to see me so im writing this here as a last attempt to try to get answers and the help i need ...
Im sorry but i really cannot take this much longer
