Hi all - just would like help if anyone here has been refused an ultrasound?? I was diagnosed with superficial thrombophlebitis 5 weeks ago. Cramp in my calf, veins are sticking out and hot to touch and itchy! And my knee is swollen. Went back to the drs and … the GP asked if I had mental health problems? I’ve read the drs notes and its states I no longer have it..

yet I am in the exact same situation,The GP will not even refer me to the varicose vein team!

The last nurse I spoke to 3 days before the GP said I should have had a refer to the varicose team as well as an ultrasound..

I’m at a loss and just feel like crying, I feel dismissed.

Hi all,

I was scheduled a blood test by my gp and got my results back, the gp didn’t call me; just the nurse to say I’m mildly anemic so I have some 210mg iron tablets to take.

I’ve checked my blood test report ; my hemoglobin is 106 (which im pretty sure is low but ok?) iron level 3.3 , serum transferrin 3.86, and my transferrin saturation index is 3% ..

I have constant fatigue , brain fog (I forget everything!) ect ect,

Is this the right course to go with the gp? As there is no follow up ect 🙃 thanks
