These last couple of days have been pretty much the same health wise accept now I also feel sick but a bit of good news is I phoned GI today and I have managed to score myself a GI clinic appointment for the 9th October, woohoo!!!!! Originally I was phoning GI to get stronger pain medication but I thought I would try my luck and see if there was any clinic appointments, I am sure I will be able to cope for another couple of weeks.
So I was really happy that I managed to get a clinic appointment so soon but my happiness didn't last very long because today I went to pick up my repeat prescription for dihydrocodeine from chemist to find that my doctor had refused to issue it. I was absolutely fuming how can they refuse to give somebody who has a crohn's flare, adhesions and fistula pain medication, especially when the pain meds you are on is not strong enough in the first place. So I phoned my GP practice, spoke to a doctor and told them that they had to refill the prescription because I could not get a GI appointment for 2 weeks, he agreed to issue it but told me that I should make a review appointment with my normal GP but I said that there was no point in making an appointment until I had been to the clinic because they are the specialists and if they find it difficult to treat me then how on earth is a GP going to manage.
Tomorrow I am London bound and I am not going to lie I am a bit worried about this trip just because of the way I am feeling but hopefully having fun will distracted me from all the issues that I am having.
And one more thing and I can't believe that I nearly forgot to write about it, is I slept a full seven hours straight last night. It is so wonderful to get a full nights sleep for once and I really hope the same happens again tonight.
