It took me longer to fill out their pointless forms than it did for the consultation. I was asked for my medical history which I gave the consultant then proceeded to prod and poke at me, got me stand and wobbled me about a couple of times then told me that the NHS MRI report for my neck was clear and they couldn't see anything wrong. I was surprised and asked whether the report mentioned anything about what had previously been found, they then read the piece of paper in front of them and said 'oh yes there's slight deterioration if the C4/C5 though my husband, who was there with me said he could see what they were reading and there was no mention of anything. The worst thing is that I've previously been diagnosed with degenerative disc disorder in my neck (and lower back) but at C5/6 and C7/T1. The only reason I went back to my GP with this is because I believe my condition has worsened, not by coming up with a random diagnosis of fibromyalgia simply because they poked a place on the side of my knee where I have a varicose vein. What I didn't tell them because by that time I just wanted to get out of there, was that one of the numerous hospitals that I've been under for my arthritis has investigated and ruled out fibromyalgia many years ago. Like I said in the title of this review, complete waste of my time and NHS money.
