Monday 24th October: I rang Manchester Royal about VEP results, Hope Hospital about lumbar puncture results, and Stepping Hill Hospital about a neurology appointment and both of Dr. Talbot’s secretaries. The VEP results were only sent out last week after all, lumbar puncture results “would have been sent” to the Hope Hospital-based secretary – but I couldn’t get confirmation they HAD actually been sent out, I was not in the system for an appointment at Stepping Hill, and the Stepping Hill-based secretary was working on data generated on the 14th October, and she hadn’t got to mine yet. Also the neurologist was currently on holiday. Nobody was authorised to let even my GP have the results, and meanwhile I have nothing to go on despite all my efforts. Will someone please let me see MY results?
A Diary of MS, from pre-diagnosis on....
I have recorded my experiences with initial symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), and how they (and I) have been dealt with by the NHS. I hope this is of use to those of you as yet undiagnosed, to illustrate what happens and how it happens, and how you get a diagnosis.
