Losing faith:
I did a food sensitivity test that said my iron was majorly low, did bloods on NHS and have a lot of inexplicable bruising lately (indication of low iron) and the NHS said my bloods are satisfactory. Hope the receptionist looked at the right ones ... But yea we have no health system so now I got to try and find funding for extra supplements every month with iron and folic acid because I keep going anaemic and if I am so bad I'm bruising inexplicably and the NHS say I'm okay then I need to take matters into my own hands. I'm also way more lethargic lately so that's not 'satisfactory'. It's a sign of an issue.
I lost five stone myself but gained two again and the Drs were supposed to have a female Dr call me today but they never did, appointment has vanished apparently and they don't do anything to help aid weight loss so I'm now being referred to a bloke in wellbeing for a chat and hopefully he can refer me to someone who helps people with dynamic disabilities.
It's all a faff and gatekeeping and I feel like they all are headless chickens running around in circles and not communicating with one another.
So much for getting support and help medically, I've had to go private with pain management and it looks like I may have to go private to get any help with weight loss, which is something the drs want me to lose and put pressure on me about it, yet can't help so how dare they be allowed to pressure people with no support network to provide people with the means and resources to do it.
Maybe I should just fast more, but then my energy levels are worse and I end up stuck in bed.
Feeling helpless right now.
Lost faith in my country, lost faith in my hometown, lost faith in local organisations and support networks and now I'm losing faith in myself.
Well done system.
Well done.
Sarah. 💔
