"Thinking of changing doctors."

About: Cleveleys Group Practice

To be honest I like most of the doctors at CHC. But I am starting to worry now.

First I had blood pressure medication side effects that were horrific and every month the change of suppliers of this medication had further side effects. Doctors say it's all the same. Believe me it's not.

Now the doctors just say that I need to take it or risk a stroke etc. I guess this is right but in this day and age there must be medication that doesn't make me feel so l incredibly bad.

I've been diagnosed with benign paradixomol positional vertigo. BVVP which had seriously effected any sleep I try to get. Now I dread going to bed. Hissing in my ears buzzing in my head etc.

I've bad pain in my right hand which I have no idea how it happened

All these things make my life unbearable and to be honest I'm seriously wishing I could just not wake up. But i'd never do anything stupid as I have two girls to care for.

The reason I'm writing this review is because no matter how many times I speak to the doctors they tell me things like "we know what it is, there is no cure. Can do nothing but wait for the next attack. ". Really???

This is 2018. Not 1900.

I've been told now that there is nothing that can be done about the side effects from the BP meds. Nothing to be done about my hand. Absolutely nothing can be done about feeling this incredibly bad dizziness and nausea.

My life is a complete nightmare. Not one day goes by where I feel normal and the thought of death is welcoming.

I realise there are people out there with much worse than me. But I really have to ask. In this modern age. Is this right ???
