Hi

I'm exactly the same as you... With a different medical issue. Mines been going on since the 1st of May.

I keep thinking how far has it spread? Is it to late to help me..

Sending best wishes to you x

Thank you ♥️ I'm sorry your going through the same thing. It's so horrible. They say get things checked early which we have done yet we are made to wait this long? I get that the whole country is under pressure and there is probably loads of people in the same situation but it doesn't make it any less terrifying. I hope you are seen soon xx

I still don't understand why gp services are not seeing people now.  You can only see them (maybe) after you've fought with the receptionists.

Seriously what doctors are not mixing with the public in supermarkets or going out for a meal...

So what's the difference.  Need to get proper appointments back.

I'm expecting some comments but this is how I feel...

I'm not a rude lady in fact to nice I'm told.. But most of the people on here are scared witless and all this waiting is heartbreaking.

I hope you get seen ASAP too.. 

Good luck to you xxx

No I totally agree with you as this is what I've experienced too. It certainly doesn't help people's mental health either. Xx

No it definitely doesn't..

I've been put on anti anxiety medication after breaking down on the phone xx

Had to restart my cbt too.

Its awful..

Every minute of every day is so hard

Aw thankyou x you too.

Your probably like me, walking around with a I'm ok face when inside your going out of your mind..

I had a melt down the other day in the bathroom banging at my head, sobbing etc.

Its like you want to know but you don't because you don't know if they can help you or are you to far gone xx

The biggest hug is being sent to you

I will send you a friend request too

I'm so sorry to hear of your worry's. The waiting part is so frustrating I've been back and fore my gp a few months didn't get a referral after having symptoms of something not quite right with my womb/cervix my monthly cycle all over the place and trying to stop them with tablets havnt worked but they were confused why as they work for everyone I was told as I am also under investigation for chrons disease maybe it's all to do with that they done an ultrasound to clear the cervix and all clear. I went to the hospital two weeks later in so much abdominal pain and pressure and they had to argue the point to get me a ct scan to help diagnose Crohn's disease, I finally had it while there and the gynaecologist called me in I was confused at first then I realised and it turns out even though they still think I possibly have crohns they had actually accidentally come across a fibroid and a 5cm mass on my cervix that must have been missed with the ultrastound somehow. They wasnt 100% sure if it was on the bowel or cervix and said they would want me to stay in and have an mri but I might have been in a few days before getting it but I have 4 children it wasn't possible so he said go home and he'd book an mri and I went home I rang to check the following Monday and was told it would most likely be the beginning of July as that's the quickest but then a few days later i had a phone call to book my mri for the following Tuesday then had a call off the doctor to say a second opinion on my ct confirmed the mass is on the cervix so the mri is going to be done quicker so now that was done yesterday I'm waiting but I do realise you have to push them especially if you have other symptoms I have been really poorly the past few months on and off and now I look 4 months pregnant and my back etc my legs all in pain and I've started getting bruising past few days and my nerve has been going in my legs I would really suggest ringing and ringing and going on I wish I'd pushed more instead of thinking it was maybe me worrying over nothing because now I wish I had pushed a lot sooner as my bowel problem has been about 3 months so what if it's spread there and it's not crohns my mind is thinking but nobody would guess as I really try not to worry myself. My mind tells me it will be what it will be and I will have to just sort what I can and accept it but it's not so easy is it lol I'm slowly cracking each day getting so tired but I think that's just the anxiety of it all. I refused any anxiety medication as they say depression can cause pain etc and I knew I was depressed for a reason I am awake peeing and sweating most night so it's been a hard few months and we are all bount to be anxious but it's for a reason so I think I'd rather let myself feel and deal with those emotions as they are expected if you had no reason to be anxious fair enough but you have plenty of reason it's not your fault it's natural. I really hope you all the best xxx
