Hi

The night before last, my GP admitted me to hospital - and they were awful! They took bloods though, and my ESR and CRP were v.high (they didn't bother checking ANCA), and yet, on the morning ward round, the general medical doctor said that I wasn't haveing a flare up, and to just go home with suspected Irritable Bowel Syndrome!!!!!!!!

I would like to think that I know my own body by now, having nearly died once of twice over the years , but no no, they send me home with no painkillers even.

I feel so upset, (and ill).

I am taking legal action over a previous consultant, for 8 years of misdiagnosis of tracheal stenosis, and my ward round consultant did ask if I still saw this particular consultant or not - and I said not - so I feel as though I am being penalised for this too....

But surely I can't be denied treatment?!?!?

I am going back to my GP this morning, out of sheer desperation.

I am anaemic anderw, and my calcium levels are also low - so I asked the doctor to check for celiacs disease, which they did eventually test for (now waiting for the result).

Thanks for your message, I feel a bit down atm and going a bit stir crazy!x
