Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi lovely group, I just wondered If I could ask for some advice. I'm under the wonderful care of Dr. P and I don't think I have met a kinder person in my life. I feel so lucky to have him looking after me. But I'm just getting a bit panicky and don't want to keep bothering him with my worries. And so thought you guys might be able to help as you've been so wonderful in the past. He's just started me on HC and am gradually building up to 25mg. What I'm really worried about is what if something happens whilst I'm on HC (i.e. need to go into hospital/surgery/accidents/ serious illness etc I understand that in those situations you need to take extra HC to help cope with the stress and also if you are unconscious or whatever the hospital would have to give you HC as you can't just stop it immediately. If the NHS find out I'm on HC when I don't have addisons they will hit the roof and It would get back to my GP My GP has already threatened me that If I start T3 he will ask me to leave the practice. He also got really angry when I had an allergic reaction to iron I was taking as he had said my levels were'normal' and that I didn't need to take any. He said 'why did you deliberately ignore me' and then he said 'if you think we will keep picking up the pieces every time you try something and it causes problems then you're wrong, cause we won't'!!!!!! Can you believe he said that, even though I was crying! I'm 23 years old and I guess he thinks i'm young and silly! He said If i come in again with a problem that's related to something I'm taking that's outside his recommendation he will not treat me and will ask me to leave the practice. He also said if that happens no other surgery will accept me as I am so 'high risk' and so I will probably be left without a GP. I know I need to take HC as I can't carry on feeling this way but I'm so worried that if something happens and I need the NHS to give me HC that they won't. I'm so sorry to do this here but I just don't really know where else to turn Would love any advice anyone might have Thanks SO SO SO much Josie xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
