I contacted my GP last October 2017 and spoke to a locum doctor. I explained I have been living with secondary progressive ms for 14 years. I Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at my last visit to the pain management clinic (PMC) at stobhill a few years ago. I am also in a LOT of pain from arthritis in my hands. I suffer badly with constant headaches and migraines.
After speaking to the locum who said they would refer me to the PMC. Just after Xmas I phoned my regular GP to mention I've not received an appointment yet. I was really upset to find that the locum didn't organize my appointment. I am now back to square one, wasted all those months waiting. Every day is the same for me, the pain is unbearable. I am taking low dose naltrexone to help with debilitating fatigue which means I am unable to take strong painkillers as they don't work together. I cry most days and nights, my anxiety levels are sky high.
"I am now back to square one"
