Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Cheers Tess and Mags, i will be glad to just get some attention to the problem, and have it identified.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Sorry you've had another fall Nom,
hope all goes well with you today, and you get the attention you need.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

well after a bit of faff made it to A&E, fell in the entrance not a single staff member came to my aid several hours of tests told i will need to go elsewhere for more tests after GP arranges it, her urgent appointment was next week.

So im back home and fell again, 20 minutes to rise, i doubt i will survive the next few weeks.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Nom I'm sorry today was such a trauma for you and hope that your GP gets your appointment for the further tests arranged very quickly.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that Nom, I think you definitely need an urgent appointment. Did you have your rollator with you at the hospital?

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

I'm still stuck at the first part - nobody assisted you when you fell? In a hospital?! It's not for me to criticize health service there, but I do find that very sad.
Sorry you had to deal with that Nom.
I do hope you get that appointment real soon.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

That's dreadful! Call an ambulance out if you fall again! You need urgent attention!

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

I agree with Tess, Nom.
Also, while you are having these falls, keep your mobile fully charged and in your pocket or within reach at all times.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Sorry to hear about the Hospital arrangements Nom.
That is disgusting to know that nobody helped you at the Hospital when you fell, you are obviously lacking something if you keep falling, as Tess said next time you fall call the Ambulance.

Re: Peripheral Nuropoathy.

Sadly my mobile succumbed to one of the falls indoors, it seems the hospital agrees that it PN related and may require surgery to try and bring back blood supply to below the knee muscles, also rule out kidney problems.

I will try to get my phone working today, without i will struggle a bit, i was surprised that no one came to my aid from the staff, but a fellow patient did help.

The rollator came with me, i cant move without it. This is a new hospital,m and one that this government intend to roll out throughout the country, by closing A&E departments pharmacy's and walk in centers, im not impressed the staff seemed to lack people skills.
