Welcome to my health blog. I am a 29 year old living with a range of strange and confusing medical symptoms and conditions including various functional/neurological disorders, Endometriosis, PCOS, Raynaud's Disease and seronegative Hughes Syndrome. This blog is to document my struggle with doctors and the impact these illnesses have on my life. I hope that in some small way, my experiences will give others who are in similar situations some sort of strength or some form of comfort. Thanks for visiting!

Some may question my choice of title but if you are ill constantly and seem to always have your brain on pain and discomfort that's making your life very difficult, you begin to feel that perhaps you are a hypochondriac or what's worse, that other people see you as one. Whether you are or not, you still feel pain, sadness, and dispair which brings me to this quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling:

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" - Albus Dumbledore

Letters!

Oh my goodness, this morning has not started out well.

I've recieved a letter from the secretary of my cardiologist. He's said that he's read the previous discharge letters and there appears to be a scan and if it's normal then they don't need to do another one.

There was never a scan.

These original discharge letters from the hospital seem to be causing so many problems. I've called up both the secretaries and told them to ensure the doctors know the information written down is incorrect. Have also phoned the hospital to get an application form for medical notes, although I'm yet to recieve that in my email - it could take up to 40 days. After talking with the complaints department, they are asking a matron in charge of adult medicine to call me back. In the mean time I need to get the letter done and sent.

This has got to be a joke. It's amazing the damage a couple of lazy doctors can do.
