Hi vonvon, welcome to the forum! You will find many people here who understand just how you feel, and who have also experienced less than satisfactory care from their doctors. Please ask any questions you may have - nothing is considered 'silly' here - and also have a good old rant if you need to let off steam!🙂
 
Hello Vonvon,

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experiences. Noone should feel isolated in this way, and it is a real shame that it does happen to people with long-term conditions.

The NHS is always banging on about patient choice, and it is true - it is YOUR right and YOUR entitlement to good and supportive healthcare, so don't be afraid to "shop around".

I wish you all the best,
MO.

Hello and Welcome to the forum !! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
hi and a very warm welcome vonvon you are not alone , please feel free to ask anything anytime we are all here for one another xx
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear that your health care so far hasn't been as it should, I know from reading these forums that the level of support in different areas is very patchy. I think most people would agree that the best thing is just to keep pestering until you get the support you need! Knowledge is great to understand what it is you need so you're in the right place!
 
Hello and welcome. I hope joining this group offers you the support, inspiration and a chance to say how you feel, as it has done for many of us - the humour is a tonic in itself! 🙂
