"Waste of time, disgusted with the hospital"

After many months I still have no diagnosis, the consultants decide what's wrong with you before you even attend the appointment and will not consider anything else.

Because I have no diagnosis it means I get no help with my disabilities, pain or an ongoing treatment plan.

I have had to chase appointments, test results, lost letters whilst having to cope with getting more and more disabled. My own GP has been fantastic in trying to help but because the Walton Centre is so inefficient it takes months just to get a letter from them which delays treatment or care for me. The GP has also been forced into having to manage my pain as I am still waiting for an appointment with the pain clinic (only been 8 months now in constant pain).

I am now virtually housebound, and cannot see any future living in this state, I have contacted the patient experience team and they seem to be ineffective as well.

I really cannot live like this anymore and feel like I've been abandoned by this hospital.

I'm not bothered about a diagnosis I just want help to live a normal life again but they won't help. So, I have to decide whether I want to carry on living this way.

They forget that there is a human behind the symptoms!
