Oh Tina, I do hope you can see your GP soon - you have been waiting so long for some answers, and getting absolutely nowhere. Please God someone can help you soon, as long-running pain like yours is so very debilitating.

I hope the MTX sickness eases soon for Dan - the doctor can give him something to help with sickness if it`s really bad, it might be worth asking.

I`m sorry things were not so good on Boxing Day - Christmas can leave families fraught sometimes, and things are sometimes said in the heat of the moment which would be better left unsaid. I remember some time ago now, my daughter-in-law getting quite upset at some "advice" her nan gave her about child-rearing, which left things rather strained for a while, but it was sorted fairly quickly when tempers had cooled.

You are a strong person Tina, who always puts her children first - they are very, very lucky to have you as their mum, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Everyone here knows you would run through a brick wall for them. You know you can always count on us here.

Take care,

Oh Tina, my lovely. I am truly so sorry this happened with your M-I-L and Matt- and it is absolutely no one else's right to discipline your children. You are quite right to feel aggrieved and upset about this and I hope you receive an apology. Like you rightly say, you have been through so much this year and this is not what you need. I would never ever dream of telling someone else's child off...I am more than happy to tell my own off! But never someone else's, no matter what I feel.

Your hands and pain have become so severe now , probably because of the amount of time you have been neglescted for. Proper and thorough tests need to have been carried out and haven't. Appropriate care has not been offered snd therefore you are becoming more ill. I am horrified to read how much pain you're suffering now, and feel this is unjust. I think you must demand to see a rheumatologist or a specialist physician?

I am so sorry about Dan too..what a shame after it not causing any sickness for a good while. Poor love.

Always here for you.

Love and prayers,
A

Dear Tina,

I hope to goodness that this GP listens to what you are telling him and arranges a blood test and an appointment to see a specialist ASAP.

The boxing day episode must have upset you so much as it would have done anyone of us. How dare anyone lift a hand to your child! But you know what, as long as she and everyone else now understands that you will not tolerate such abuse and/or interference, is it worth holding the anger against her and waiting for an apology?
I have found that there are times to be dignified and rise above such people/incidents. You know she knows, and everyone else knows that she hit a child, not just any child but her own grandson! That is humiliation enough for anyone!

Thinking of you and want to hear that you are being listened to by this GP.

Love Eleanor x

just rung got an appointment tomorrow with head doctor 2.40, she asked would i like to see doctor i normally see i said noooooooooooooo lol

Hi Tina
I really hope you get all the answers you need at the GP
as for the boxing day episode
boy I am glad she was not my m-i-l
I have never smacked Sophie as I know how to handle her as you do with your children
I think adults hitting a child is wrong we are bigger then them how would your m-i-l have reacted if you hit her
and your s-i-l it was none of her business you should of told her to back off
I really get wound up when I see people hitting children as I said we are bigger than them and to hit them must hurt a lot
try not to get too up-set
good luck at the doctors
take care

Thanks guys i agree totally,i only need to use my voice.
I go back 4th january jean cant belive how soon it is coming lol
will let you know how get on tomorrow, keep fingers crossed for me but my other half has said if he dose nothing tomorrow then going private cause not on this, and it is going to make my job harder and harder as i go on.

Praying u should be just finhsing up at gp now.
hugs melly

Hi Tina - this is absolutely appalling. I think you should go ahead and get the name for the private doc but think you need to complain about this treatment to practice manager. This is a complete and utter let down for you when they must realise how desperate you are to ask to be referred as private patient. I hope the stomach bug doesn't last too long. Thinking of you and wishing there was something we could do to help.

Julie

Oh Tina, that's not good at all!
I hope you can get the name of the doc tomorrow and get an appointment made.
Hope your bug doesn't last long.

Love and hugs,
