My wife, (a usually very fit and healthy long-distance runner), very suddenly started experiencing short-term memory loss, dizziness and continual migraines around a month ago. She visited her GP who referred her to Neurology. A week later, when her symptoms had worsened, she went back to he GP who contacted Neurology to expedite the referral. A week later, after a fortnight of dizziness and dibilitating and continual migraine she called the GP, who again wrote to Neurology to further press for an urgent consultation.
As I write, my wife has still not received an appointment date, and remains on an 18 week waiting list, and I remain sick with worry.
Outrageous that I am having to resort to writing this on your website in the hope that making this public will spur Neurology into taking my wife’s sudden deterioration seriously.
