I’ve got an appointment with my gp this morning to discuss the “report” from the Neuro psych and also to see if she will give me any meds to help. I’m also going to get her to refer me for a second opinion. She is actually doing the emergency clinic today so told them I needed to be seen or I would require a home visit (thanks Teresa, I think it was you said that) so they squeezed me in apparently. Think I will refuse to leave until something is done. Xxx
Good luck Nikki. You are right not to leave till something has been done.
Don’t let them keep getting away with it. Time to be assertive.
Let us know how it goes.
Teresa. x
Good luck! Karen x
That’s the spirit, go and fight for yourself! Good luck. Sam xx
Good Luck today. I really hope she does something to help you. I’ll be thinking of you. Teresa xx
How did you get on Nicky? Chis x
Hope it went well Nikki.X
Well not really sure what to think. She seemed confident that the letter ruled out psychological reasons so thats discounted. Partly I’m dissapointed as that would be solvable.
I am due to see my epilepsy nurse next Tuesday so the GP said to talk to her and see if anything else is planned within Neurology there and ring her after I have seen her. If nothing is being done there the gp said she will refer me to Leeds for a second opinion.
She said she does think the problem is neurological and has prescribed me Neproxen for the pain in my legs. Does anyone else take this?
Thanks for the support xx
Oh yes and I rang hubby and told him all this and he said “So everything is fine then”!!! Only got one thing to say…AAaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Glad you’ve seen her and that she does seem to be making an effort to help you. If you have no joy with the epilepsy nurse it appears that she will refer you to another neuro which is what we all wanted for you. So that’s good news, yes? I haven’t heard of Neproxen but I hope that really does the trick, as far as pain is concerned. I’m sure someone on here will have had it. Sorry hubby was no help - once they start saying the wrong things they just keep digging a bigger hole that they can’t climb out of! Teresa xx
It is good yes, guess I’m just getting frustrated even she said we are back to square one now we know its not psychological. I’m sure plenty of other people here feel the same.
I think with hubby I will just fill the hole in while he is still in there lol.
xx
Yes, I know that feeling well. Sometimes that’s all they deserve! I’m sure the frustration is driving you mad but at least you are still on the radar! Teresa xx
I’m just not good at waiting. Even my babies were quick lol

Hi Nikki,
Perhaps you might be taken more seriously now the psych report is back to say that there is not a problem. Frustrating i know but probably true.
Starting from square one might not be such a bad thing - getting a second opinion and new tests/investigations.
I hope this is the first step on moving closer to a diagnosis.
P.S. Is there room to put my hubby in that hole as well cos they sound simular!
Best wishes
Teresa.x
I know, the waiting really sucks but there will be an end to this. It won’t go on forever. Hang in there girl! Sounds like that hole is gonna be a big’un! Lol! Teresa xx
Get a big spade Nikki!
Anyone else want to put their hubby in our big hole?
Perhaps we need a JCB digger instead of the spade
Treek.x
Thanks all. I promise I will try to be more patient! My husband has been digging that much over the last few days there is more than enough space for everyones hubbys! Maybe there should be a useless husband section on the forum!!
