I’m raging today. I thought the medical industry couldn’t let me down any more than they have but they have managed to outdo themselves. People who read my posts may know that I’ve been having bladder issues for some time now. It flares up and down but basically it’s like having cystitis all the time. I can’t sleep at night, have to get up to wee constantly, and always feel like I need to go. I’m finally on the waiting list to see the urologist and have been prescribed several bladder calming meds, none of which have helped.
Well, I was at the GP today about my test results and I got chatting to a retired nurse who happened to be there and she told me that over-treatment with thyroxine (which I’ve been having for years to try and stop my cancer coming back) can have the side effect of an overactive bladder. The same issue I have been seeing doctors for for years, begging for help, is perhaps being caused by my damn cancer treatment and not a single doctor has ever even thought of this, maybe the ignorant twats don’t even know this is a side effect. God, I hate this life! These fuckers told me this treatment has no side effects and already it has given me a stroke, heart issues, multiple food intolerances, perhaps an overactive bladder and a whole lot more.
Oh Russia, please nuke the UK to oblivion, I am sick of this shit!
EDIT: Now they’ve got the hospital lab to redo the test and say there IS an infection after all. But the doctor refused to listen to me about my allergies and prescribed me an antibiotic I’m allergic to. I’m so exhausted by how difficult it is to get medical treatment.
:( I hope you do not mind me giving hugs over the internet because those people sound awful. I am sure that this community of Lemmygraders will be perfectly fine with you regardless of any disease you have, because this place is just nice (save for the occasional random opportunist that wanders onto this place).
Yes, that’s fine, thank you. 🫂
The majority of people here have been nice, but there have been several who’ve teased me over mutual aid, spending weeks constantly promising to send help but then never coming through until I had to accept they were just teasing me. Those instances have been really stressful and disheartening. One actually got temporarily banned for doing it but then they let him back and he started doing it again. I had another person here recommend that I should commit suicide and give me tips on how to do it and say it doesn’t matter if I end up homeless. His comments eventually got removed. I’m just resigned to the fact that society absolutely hates and despises the disabled, even in a community like this.
:< Those people that hurt you are terrible. I am glad that many more people have been nice than mean. Did you report that person who was teasing you with the idea of giving money again? I am sure the mods would do something about it (though I am not sure how they were let back in).
