Sorry cant help hugs. i can self refer but it depends in insurance. There are loads of private Gps i go through Avviva .Good morning. A nice round 6 at 7am. Had a BG wobble yesterday, the unicorn ran away. Had yet another sickly day, had to take to my bed literally straight after lunch, carrot and coriander soup. I don’t think I can wait until my referral comes through for the colorectal surgeon, I haven’t even had a “ chose and book” letter yet. Does anyone know how I go about going private? Do I still have to go through my GP first? Totally against my principles, but these flare ups are becomimg far too frequent now and it’s impacting on my general life, on my diabetes ( my BGs stay sky high for hours when I’m having a flare up), I don’t know what to eat as there’s not always a pattern. My portions are getting smaller and smaller. I feel like I’m living on a knife edge sometimes just waiting for my small intestines to block up and perhaps burst this time. Sorry for the moan but I was so ill yesterday and I really don’t want to feel like that again. the only way I can explain it it’s like having really bad seasickness, a hangover and morning sickness all at the same time and I’ve had all three at some point in my life so I know! Once it’s settled I’m good for nothing for the rest of the day. I sat all wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa reading, I was freezing and absolutely exhausted.I was even tempted to take myself to A&E but thought better of it as by the time I got seen the flare up will have finished. But I wasn’t in loads of pain just felt so, so nauseous and extremely bloated, and there’s more folks worse off than me.
Anyhoo, that’s enough of that, no plans today, just rest and try and think of something bland for my meals, toast it is then.
Have a good day all.
However , Id make an appointment to talk it through.
I wish you better, doesn't sound great at all.
Are you still on Penicillin is something else wrong too? Antibiotics are horrid on gut biome. Probiotics can help there . i got mine at Boots about £13 but worth it.
