Hi Paul , I understand how difficult medical appointments are and it definitely puts me off even speaking to a gp incase he suggests a face to face visit or a hospital specialist. I have managed to get frailty nurses to visit for bloods and jabs because I am pretty much bed bound. I also have booked a Specsavers home visit( £30) which I have already cancelled once because of a bad day and am worried about how I will I be for the next time. Dentists are another disaster area because they don’t do home visits. I had a check up 10 days ago and have been in a crash since. I emailed you months ago about looking at a low carb diet. It worked for me and I am no longer pre diabetic and have kept the nearly 4 stones off, didn’t help my Me/cfs but made me feel better about myself. I do not manage any exercise. Take care and I hope your appointment goes as smoothly as possible. Take care and let us know how you get on. Keeping doing the podcasts if you can because it helps me to feel I am not alone.
Hi Frances, it’s great to hear from you. I do remember you mentioning the carb free diet, not been brave enough to try it though! It’s horrible how the most mundane of appointments are such a trial for us. I think people just do not understand. Please keep in touch 😊
