"I need medication for rhuematiod arthritus"

About: Cannock Chase Hospital / Rheumatology

all I need is medication as far as I can remember this is the worst year I have had for over twenty years

I have received over five steroid injections in less than one year

I should only receive three I an now got trouble with shoulders wrists and hips but it has been much worse

I had the chin the neck shoulders wrists hips and knees unfortunately

I am being forced the go on holiday next week I have been promised an appointment with a doctor in September I have lost count with the number of visits In my last visit to the clinic they could find no trace of me on there computer I have made about fifty phone calls in the last year you just get pushed from one number to another getting in touch with my nurse usually takes up to 3 weeks for an appointment all I need is a prescription the only person that can help is this doctor. my GP can do nothing
