thanks Jackie. Trouble is we go on 2nd so if there are biopsy tests etc I won't get the result until after we come back anyway. I have had it for so long that it seems strange to start being concerned really. But I suppose i am because my Dr was. Ann Glos

Hi Ann, I have just seen this thread as it originally appeared when I was away. I am pleased you managed to get an appointment before going away and I hope you hear what you want to hear so that you can go away and relax! Good luck, Jacky x

Annie no mates me. No friends in this area, no family. I am sure i will be OK. Ann Glos

Not too long to wait then Ann, I really hope everything is ok for you. xx

Contacted the hospital this morning and they have a cancellation for the 30th. Which is fine but, can't win them all, I'll have to go on my own as OH is booked to play golf away that day, long standing arrangement all payed for with dinner. Oh well i suppose at least it is before our holiday and I am a big girl now, can do this on my own!!! Ann Glos

Hope you manage to change your appountment on Monday. Take care and enjoy the flowers !!! Love Mary xx

Dee, hadn't thought of that, the litigation fear. maybe that is why the panic! I will keep that in mind! Ann Glos

Thanks all of you. K, it must be worrying with your family suffering so many allergies. My younger sister has fibromyalgia and also has many food intolerances, including wheat and tap water. (she is a 'B' to cater for when she visits!) She doesn't have a violent reaction to them luckily, just has a 'muzzy' head and feels generally unwell. My parents bth had hay fever, my Mother quite badly so I suppose allergies are in the genes. Ann Glos

Oh, Ann, I am so sorry. I do hope that it will get sorted out soon and that all shall be well. I am pleased about the flowers .. :-)

Hi Ann I think the new young doctors are so scared of litigation if they miss something that they tend to over react sometimes, That doesn't make things any easier for you though, hope you get things resolved about the appointment Dee xx

Ann ,Doctors never agree with each other and that dont help .... The body is a clever thing ..I have 4 kids who all have alleregys one is allergic to tap water!!! gives him headaches/migraines. one has urticaria to the sun and jelly,nuts,pizza,fizzy drinks....means she vomits and swells up face head ears hands neck and then goes spotty!! My other son and I are wheat ....skin prolems on hands feet face and asthma, I got a dry patch like that on my little fingers at the mo I think allergys come and go .....we REDUCED wheat that helps. I dont think you are in any danger but they know WHAT could happen and dont want you to sue them !!!!!! Take care and dont worry!!!!

sorry for you ann hope they get something sorted soon xxxx

It was an allergy in the first place (30 years ago!) it was an allergy to biological washing powder. It started small and spread out over a couple of years. Doctors were seen and just gave me cream. About 10 years ago it was itchy and scaly and I showed yet another doctor and he gave me more cream, about 4 years ago it got a soft lump' with sort of fluid in on one side, also developed a small 5mm diam cyst type hard lump showed my doctor, he was not worried. But my new doctor is worried. could be because he is a lot younger than the last doctor and more aware I don't know. ann Glos

Doctors seem to add to your problems these days!! it sounds like allergys to me ...my whole family have these problems ...Not the blood pressure...as thats a different issue Try to reduce wheat from your diet ...if you have back ache you MAY find reduceing wheat will help that to!!! DONT remove wheat

thanks Jude, yes he is xx ann

Ann - do hope you get this sorted pdq. Easier said than done, but try not to worry. Tony is a treasure is'nt he, bless:o)) Take care - love jude sarf wales :o) x

thanks for your concern. ann Glos

Good luck with changing the appointment Ann, I am sure if they know how stressed you are and when you are away, they will sort something out for you. Liz

I will try that on Monday, thanks. Ann Glos

Good idea Mo, the hospital switchboard will be able to put you through. xx
