"fed up with going to see the GPs at this surgery"

About: Hackenthorpe Medical Centre

have got severe Chron's which i had to have my colon removed and a colostomy fitted.I rang gp because i was on medication which i couldn't absorb as i had no colon.Rang GP to discuss options and was told @you haven't had all your colon removed@ derr check your notes i have just come out of hospital after 3 weeks and your district nurse has been coming every day|.Been going for two years since operation complaining of extreme fatigue flu like symptoms.Have to go to bed for days and now weeks at a time.I have pins needles in hands and feet and joint pain.Im constantly told i am PROBABLY going through the menopause but have;nt been given any tests for this or offered medication by my GP.I was given a fibro diagnosis last year by Northern General so now every time i go i just get 'its prob fibro flare or menopause@ thats it! im so sick of this because i know ppl with fibro and menopause and they are not in bed for 3 weeks after nipping to Asda for half an hour.During my operation for the Crohn's my aneathatist hit a nerve in my spine putting the spinal tap in and i had a terrible pain shoot through my leg which flew up in the air and had a terrible head for weeks after.My health has deteriorated since then and i think its connected but my GP says this is very common with spinal tap.The aneathatist told me it had never happened to him in 8 yrs and a professor from a different hospital visited me.Is that usual for such a common mistake? ive now had to badger my GP to send me to Infectious disease department for tests to see if i have ME CFS because i have every symptom after speaking to other people with that disease.
