Ally, I can't tell you how happy I am for you, to at last have someone, nearby, who is in your corner. Your psychiatrist is a star!

That news has put a spring in my step for the rest of the day, for sure.

How are you feeling about it?
 
Well done ally. Despite everything you have to deal with you have achieved a good result by perseverance. I am so pleased that the psych team have appointed a CPN. Keep your chin up, ally. You should now have someone to fight alongside you for your health needs and rights.
 
There are 3 full time gp,s and 2 part time gp,s. We tend to see our named gp, only see another gp if my one is fully booked up, on holiday or his day off

Thank you.
I am over the moon. Also as the cpn said, if I need to see my gp, she will if possible to come with me, she will say who she is, then he will most likely help me more. I was supposed to see my gp on the 6th October to see if he could give me something for the nerve pain. Cpn said to cancel it because it's before I see her, she will then try to make me an appointment so she can come with me. Good thinking on her part
 
Thank you. You all mean so much to me for all your support
 
It may be possible for a CPN to come with you to the doctor to back you up to get the requested treatment. Please have a hug x
 

What a team you have batting for you Ally. It's taken a ridiculously long time to happen, but I'm positive this is a step that could really change the way your healthcare works.

Really well done for sticking with it all for all this time, with no prospect of improvement. I really do applaud your persistence.
 
Thank you
 
Glad to read things are moving in a positive direction for you. Hopefully you will be able to get the care you need of your GP. Keep up the fight

In my experience CPN's are kind, and understanding about us forgetting things and getting anxious and worried. She is on your side, and is there to help you. hugs.

Between 2003 and 2007, I had 3 different cpn. The second one I had was brilliant. Though over those 4 years, I was being treated for depression and ptsd

Everyone here has been so kind.
I do feel that having type2 and bipolar, depending on my moods, it then affects the diabetes and vice versa
