Negative Nelly!

I don’t want to be negative and moan, but that’s how this warm Monday afternoon has gotten me!! Has anyone (UK) made a complaint to anyone about the lack of support & care? I’ve just had a letter from my neurologist (a copy of a letter sent to my GP) advising I have a pregnancy test for my restless legs! (I’m infertile) and to be prescribed gabapentin, which he, himself advised me not to take as it wasn’t helping! I speak to my MS nurse and get no where. I speak to my neurologist and get no where Speak to a GP and they don’t have a clue! I’m at my wits end! Someone somewhere help me, please!

I'd respond, copying in your GP and local PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service), expressing your confusion and concern that you may have received someone else's letter, given your own medical history and the contradictory advice. May prompt your neuro to have a bit more of a think.

You must have the same neurologist as me! I received my ms diagnosis via a letter to my GP that I was cc'd in on. It would be funny if it wasn't such an awful way to communicate with people
