Hello MTR

I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling so unwell over the last few weeks. It's understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed by things. 

It's good to know that you've already seen the specialist and had some initial investigations. Did they tell you how long you might have to wait for the results of what the next steps would be? If you've been given contact details for the team, then do give them a call to ask when you might hear about an appointment. 

In the meantime, it sounds like having a chat with your GP regarding the dizziness and pains you're experiencing would be a good idea. There may be some support they can offer to help manage these symptoms whilst you're waiting for news from the specialists. Don't forget that if you feel unwell outside of your normal surgery hours, you can contact NHS 111 for advice as well. 

If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

I hope you get some answers soon MTR and that the doctors can begin to help improve things for you. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
