"Ongoing symptoms with no answers"

About: Dorset County Hospital / Rheumatology Weymouth Community Hospital / Rheumatology

(as a service user),

Awful. 18 months and can’t wait to get you off books. Negative tests but ongoing symptoms with no answers. Drugs given that do help are not for condition diagnosed. No time to examine properly or listen just few tests. Cannot diagnose what they have until all else ruled out. Should look at clinical presentation test are to help but not a guarantee. Feel worse off since seeing and just demeaned. Would tell anyone without obvious condition to steer clear. treated so dismissively. They wrote to go of examinations that didn’t take place and said be grateful there are people worse off than you. How does that help anyone. Appalled and very angry, complaint just not taken seriously.
