im having a moan about doctors because i personallydont think they care anymore!!!!


Doctors

Since the age of ten i have sufferd majour headaches, im am now 17 and it has gotten so much worse, now i get shackey, some days i cant get out of bed and i even faint from time to time, i even find it hard walking up the stairs...getting a glass of water sometimes is just too much.

I was working for a Telesales company and i got a harsh headache, i couldt open my eyes, i walked into the kitchen and i fainted, i wasn out for long though, obviously i went home and went to the doctors straight away, they gave me another load of medication (which didnt work i would like to add). So after a few days the fainting was happening alot more, i went back to the doctors, they took my blood and sent it off for testing to see if i had Diabeaties or sufferd from Animia...i waited a week and they told me i was HYPOglycemic (exuse my spelling) which means too much shugaur in my blood (mild form of diabeaties) so i changed my diet and the fainting and everything was still the same...of course i had to go back, i went to the nurse very confused and angry i said 'im HYPOgylcimic and this diet isnt working' she looked at her computer and looked back at me very confused, 'no your not' she replied, i explained to her that when i phoned up to recsive my results thats what they had said to me. they got it wrong, someone elses results in fact. she made me another opmt with a Doctor who then told me 'your a young teenage girl, all teenage girl's go through this' i told her that it wasnt good enough, i had to leave my job and i couldnt do anything with my days, so she sent me to the hospital for some scans, all they did was check my hearing..the doctor i saw at the hospital informed me he wants me to take tables, this is when i lost my temper.....'i have been on tablets since the age of ten! and every medicine you have given me has failed me' i told him but did he listen no....i am waiting on a letter from the hosptial to get to my doctors so then can plan ahead.

If hey mess up one more time i shall go to the citizen (local paper).

Doctors just dont care anymore, as long as they get thier money at the end of the week thier fine, but i bet if they get paid on commision only they would spend alot more time talking and finding out what the actual problem is instead of doping us up on medication we dont need, making us worse.

Dani, how terrible for you. Those headaches sound debilating. Oh, how i feel for you. It can be so frustrating when doctors are too quick to just push us aside and are not caring and thorough. I hope you can find some help and get relief from those horrible headaches, darling. xx kathy
