jeff oakley Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It is at times like this that The value of private health care come in. I know the NHS is fantastic at emergancy work but things like this just aren't seen as an emergancy. A manger of mine was rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack, his mother farther uncle and brother have all died of heart problems, they check him out give him asprin and something under his tongue and send him home 7 hours later wiith the instruction to see his gp. Sees GP who now says he needs to see a specialist so he is now waiting. Private, straight there next day or so. And I know it is expensive whne we already pay but say £50 a month it is cheap when you are ill. I hope you get sorted soon Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Bloke Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Get yourself sorted Steve, you've had a lot on your plate recently, stress plays havoc with the body. A thorough exam and some rest would be a good place to start, difficult I know. Ash's suggestion seems like a good idea to me. Take care big guy (big wuv hugs grrrrr x) Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2rrr Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Steve, I don't need to make any suggestions. Had a slightly similar event 10 years ago but mine didn't linger like yours has, you need to get into a proper Neorospecialist type and discuss whats been going on now for some time. Did you have an MRI scan when you had the previous event(s). I'm not going to speculate but I have my own ideas. If Ash's suggestion is in that line of work I would bite the arm off. Get well soon and don't give Bev any grief she is probably worried witless, do as you are told but get the diagnosis you need, you may not like it, but at least you will find out whats been going on. Then you can get it sorted. The diagnosis will dictate the medicine or life style mods and it can be simple but needs to be right. Good luck big man, you haven't lost your sense of humour. Get well soon. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 At least you are in the best place and getting it properly looked into. If you are at all claustraphobic consider the sedative option before the MRI scan. They don't tend to volunteer it but will provide if you ask. Hope you are back to normal soon.

Captain Colonial Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The stay wil be preferential to the MRI wuv, it's like being machine gunned while laying down in a sewer tube. Glad to hear they found your brain and there were no cats in it. Now just please desist your current communication on the matter because I'm intolerant of other people's opinions goodness me and be quiet, relax, and do what you're told, we need you better. Hell, I'm going to go cheer you up and give you a warning point for being ill without permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 , I'm going chuffin mad its like a concentration camp for freaks n old people But I'm here, not there! Steve, stop complaining and get some real relaxation. Get a good book and chill. Sleep as much as you can. Last time I was in hospital about 38 years ago (forget the 2 days a few years ago which was a waste of time) I slept all day, and sat up with the nurses all night playing cards. I was in after an emergency appendectomy which was done in am cubical in A&E and it burst as it was removed. Most people have a 2" scar, mines 8". Anyway, enough about me, you get better soon. We all love you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Dastardly Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 On the up side there's no discernable deterioration in your grammer and punctuation All the best and I hope you're back to normal soon. Certainly don't envy you having to stay in a hospital all weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham0127 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Good luck with the tests Steve.They`ll find nothing,you`ll get better & they`ll say `must have been a virus`...... Make the most of any rest you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
