Hey guys update....

Saw GP this morning. Waste of bloody time. When I saw out of hours GP on Sun she said I need an x ray, bloods took and my blood pressure took again as it was severely high and maybe a med to help it.

Goes in today to my own GP surgery. She was like why you here (so hadn't read the notes from Sun). Went through the story with her about the headaches how sever they were etc then said I went to out of hours GP. She then looks at my notes. Then asks a few minimum questions. Comes to feel my neck (2 sec job). Tells me in that 2 sec examination its MUSCULAR and nothing to worry about EXCUSE ME??? Tells me she would get an MRI done but it's not necessary IS IT NOT??? Tells me she will give me a month's supply of Naproxen and Lansoprazole but NOT Codeine despite getting that on Sun. Why I do not know. Come back in 4 weeks. Then says come back in 5 weeks instead as I'm off on holiday.... IT'S OK LOVE I'LL SEE ANOTHER GP.

Told me blood tests aren't necessary why??? I was told I needed them. Nope. It was for my cholesterol btw

Wasn't going to take my blood pressure as in her words "it was done on Sunday" HELLO!!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME AND OR READING THE NOTE FROM THE OUT OF HOURS GP??? It's a must as it was massively high. She took the reading as I demanded it. The top reading was 171 over I don't know and then she took it again as it was high no s@@@ sherlock. 2nd reading 161 over I don't know what. They are meant to take it 3 times to make sure your ok. Nope not thus GP. I have to make an appt and see the nurse in 2 weeks time to get blood pressure took again.

I have a mole on the left hand side of my face. It's been there 2 years and last year was small. It's now the size of a grape and is darkened in colour and has a dark dot in it. Get it checked right?? Nope she takes a quick glance at it. Gives it a long name and says your fine

I have water retention in both feet. I struggle with getting shoes to fit and I get massively swollen feet if standing or sitting for long periods of time. I asked about thus. Without examining me at all. Socks and shoes still on she quickly said I don't give out tablets for that to someone as young as you. Right but you gonna check it NO???

Lastly I said I'm coming down with the flu I have sweats (hot and cold), muscle and joint aches, cough, runny and block nose, again sore head and I always get sore gums which is unbearable. She again quickly told me no. There is nothing for flu. Oh right so the meds I got 2 years ago when I had the flu exactly like this were all in my mind???

Yes I'm angry, yes I'm upset she dismissed everything another GP said to me and made out that everything is fine and dandy. Like hell it is. I'm suffering like mad here.

I'm just away to make another appt for 3 weeks time. My support team at mental health centre who I saw today told me to do this as its unacceptable. I certainly will not be getting her again in a hurry

Sorry to rant as you can tell I'm not at all happy
