Thanks everyone. I can't name you all but thanks for understanding and I really feel that you do. If that stupid dr hadn't been like she was I could have been 3 days into anti depressant and feeling better. I have booked a hair appointment in 15 mins with a view to going to party tonight, even if only for an hour or so but I could change my mind at the last minute. I hope I can go because I don't want to let my friend down. Will let you know
Love Sheila x
P.S. working on a pic for my file. Must get my husband to sort it for me

Oh Sheila - I have just caught up on your posts. I am so sorry that you were treated by your GP like that. It is absolutely disgraceful. My Husband suffers from depression and anxiety and the only thing that has got him through the last few years is a GP who listens. I could scream at the way the GP service has changed over the years. Your family doctor always had time to talk to you. Now you have either a five minute or, if lucky, a ten minute slot to get everything out and ask for help.
You definitely need some help. Either through medication or counselling. My Husband opted for the latter route and he is a hundred times better when he has talked through what is worrying him and how he feels. I am glad that you found a sympathetic ear with the NRAS helpline and I am sure that you felt better after you had finished. I don't know if you feel the same but sometimes I wonder is it all in my head? Have I really got RA? I can't possibly be as bad as I feel? The answer of course is, yes we do have this dratted disease and yes we can be very ill with it so it is no wonder we get down.
I hope you get sorted soon and start to feel a little better.
Take care
Jackie

Hi Sheila
I hope you got to party last night, even if just for a little bit, and had a good time. This is just to say that I hope you get some progress with Dr Cruella next week, and get some more support. Keep complaining until you do - it will help all of us as if more & more docs understand mental and physical problems with RA. Polly

 Hi Polly You are absolutely right. I keep thinking I am just going to leave it. I don't want any confrontation but then again I think, like you, that it helps us all so I really have to say something. I am hoping she apologises and I can go and see her and explain better. Love Sheila x

Hi everyone
Just to update you on Dr. I had a message on answerphone from my surgery asking me to make an appointment with the main GP to discuss my 'problems.' I called back and said I would be away for a week and I might contact when I got back. Just got back tonight and I have a letter from the main GP saying that the doctor I saw was very sorry for causing me anxiety and she apologises for the way she acted towards me. That's very good. I am happy with that but it would have been better if she had written to me herself. That seems a strange way of apologising to me but maybe it is surgery procedure for the main GP to deal with complaints.
I don't think I am going to go and see any dr anyway because my holiday has done me the world of good and I feel so much better. I have had a great relaxing time, seeing amazing birds and wildlife and just feeling lucky to be alive. It just came at the right time. I still hope to get my hair sorted out but I am not worrying about it anymore.
Thanks all of you for your kind words of encouragement. You have helped me a lot. I hope I can do the same for you.
Love Sheila x

hi Sheila,
glad to hear you have had an apology of sorts .. but agree it would have been nice to come from the relevant GP.
i agree with you as to not bother to go back to the Surgery unless you feel it's necessary now, as you have had a nice relaxing break which sounds like it was just the tonic.
see how you go on and take it step by step ... and perhaps when you next need to go to the Surgery then the matter could be brought up and hopefuly closed in a satisfactory way for you,
Suzanne x

Hi Suzanne Yes, that's exactly what I thnk. I am glad you agree. It's good to have a second opinion especially when it's the same as your own  Sheila x
