Luv - Sheila ________________________________________________________ Good morning Sheila, I have tried to contact Dr. Peatfield and have had an email saying he will be in touch with me. I am so desperate for some help. The NHS wont even aknowledge the fact I have a low T4 and my estrogen is non exsistent, ive been trying to get diagnosed for 3 years and last year i got so stressed with it all and had family problems and ended up with facial weakn ess, neck spasm, leg weakness on teh right side. When it happened hospital just shooed me away as i think I must have hypocondriac on my file and I am struggling to get this sorted out aswell. I came off the pill 6 months ago and showed i had very low estrogen so they sent me to pit specialist in london UCLH. She took all my blood tests but said they are all normal she just wants to scanmy pelvis. I was refered to oral department by my dentsist as she couldnt get my mouth open, back in JUne and he said couldnt see anything and wouldnt listen to me, just discharged me and said about phsyciatric help ( I was very upset). I went back to my dentist and they refered me back to hospital and this time I said well why is my jaw deviated to the right? He said oh yea, sent me to his Maxiofacial Nurse, she said your jaw is deviated as you have facial weakness!! I said I know its affected my neck and leg aswell but no one is listening. She asked if id had a stroke I said I dont know but none of its got better. she said not to worry when you get to Barts Neurologist they will do a head scan as somethings affected your right side and is causing TMJ. So, When i got to my appointment in London, the nuerologist had been sent a letter from the Oral specialist (which he wrote back in JUne) saying nothing wrong with me need phsyciatric help!!! Obviously this affected my appointment and he dismissed my facial weakness!!! I dont know what to do anymore. Ive got another appointment with neuromuscular specialist at Queens Square but god knows whats on my reffereals, i think they are trying to cover up thier misdiagnoses of my muscles. I had booked to see a clinic in london harley street who do treat hormones with Armour,bio dentical hormones etc..but I now have no job and I am worried that I am not seeing the right people. May be I should be seeing Dr. Peatfield, I ve just beenb struggling to wait for a response as I am so depressed and down about the whole thing, i have to keep talking myself out of doing something silly. I dont want to be at war with the NHS I just want to get better. Thanks for listening, sorry to go on I dont know who to ask for help anymore.. Moseley Get the best wallpapers on the Web - FREE.
