[QUOTE="nav_97, post: 2185711, member: 348018"] My current treatment from my doctors, nurses ect, is actually good. I am quite happy so far with my treamtment. My concern was for my first diagnosis of each of my conditions. I remember for type 1 diabetes, i became very ill very quickly. I was also in the middle of my exams which made everything even worse. Tried to book and appointment with the GP at the time, had to wait 4 weeks. During thise 4 weeks i became very ill, feeling like i was burning, my sight was deteriorating, monster thirst. I was struggling to read my exams, looking at the paper at funny angles. People also though I was making this up, but i barely had any energy to argue. In the end when we finally got the appointment, i had to argue with my doctor to do a blood glucose text - he was heavily reluctant as there has been no history of diabetes in my family. Finally got it done, and found out I had type 1 with dka, they were pretty shocked I was still standing. A similar situation happened with depression, although I turned into a recluse for a year and wasted away before they realised i was in need of urgent treatment. Point is, in terms of outpatient care I have been pretty happy with the quality i recieved, but getting a diagnosis has been a nightmare, and I recieved the stick from many people. Sorry for ranting, really need to learn to be concise :banghead:. [/QUOTE]
