12 LONG TERM MEDICAL CONDITIONS NO TREATMENT LOCKDOWN

[Alison J Stevens]

So i have been waiting for a Colonoscopy since December 2019, i suffer from Crohns Disease, Intermediate Colitis, IBS,Schatzki,ring and various Gastric problems caused by a Hiatus Hernia, Nausea, Vomiting, Heartburn, Reflux, Epi Gastric pain,Bile reflux, functional Dyspepsia,

My Late Father died of Bowel Cancer, i have recently suffered from two GI bleeds, and Malena, 

I was admitted in February to A and E with the above symptoms, amid malena, black stools.

When i telephoned the Hospital they said the Colonoscopy would not be done any time soon, even though, i had the two episodes of black stools,

I am also due to have another Procedure where a NG Tube is placed into my nose, and the tube is then pushed into the stomach and attached to a monitor, and my stomach acid measured for 24 hours, this procedure has been on the waiting list since December 2019..

The Hospital stated it could be a very long time until i have this procedure because of the corona virus pandemic, no hope even though i have had two recent episodes of GI Bleeds..

I have also suffered worsening of my fibromyalgia resulting in peripheral nephropathy pain, in my legs, feet, calf, hip and toes to both legs, with numbness and pins and needles, with severe joint and muscle pain, head to toe, also peripheral nephropathy pain to my arms, hands, wrist elbow and shoulders with pins and needles and numbness to this area of my body as well.

For the last 16 weeks i have suffered really bad pain to my left jaw, causing ear ache, headache, pain ve in my neck as well as nausea, the left jaw keeps coming out of its socket causes severe pain when i am chewing food, and if i chew food with my right jaw i still get severe pain in my left jaw, i can now  only manage to eat a puree diet, i also suffered from severe toothache for 16 weeks.

16 weeks of agony with my jaw, couldn't get to see my dentist whatsoever, even after ringing them twice crying, 111 was no help whatsoever, all treatment if any denied.

eventually a month ago i got to see my dentist, she diagnosed FMJ, with my jaw and refereed me to Max Facial at Leicester Royal Infirmary, and i had a tooth extraction.

But the jaw problem continues, my dentist refused to see me after i rang up crying and said there was nothing more they could do.

To go from a check up at my dentist every 12 weeks because of my IBD, and gastric problems to zero just leaves me more and more depressed.

Max facial said that it could be a very long wait to be seen, so my jaw problem will not be resolved any time soon.

My GP referred me to the chronic pain team at Leicester Royal Infirmary with regards to my chronic fibromyalgia  pain, RESULT A CONSULTANT CANNOT EVEN TRIAGE MY GP REFERRAL LETTER BECAUSE OF CORONA VIRUS.

I AM EXPECTED TO CARE FOR MY HUSBAND FULL TIME WITH A BRAIN INJURY, NOW NO RESPITE, YES BECAUSE OF CORONA VIRUS.

MY NOW HAS A TOE NAIL THAT I CANNOT CUT, WHICH COULD EASILY TURN INTO SEPSIS HE HAS ALREADY SURVIVED 3 LOTS OF SEPSIS IN HOSPITAL, NOBODY WILL ASSIST WITH  THIS DUE TO CORONA VIRUS.

I  COMPLAINED TO PALS NOTHING CAN BE DONE CORONA VIRUS, COMPLAINT NOW WITH MY MP..

University  Hospitals  of Leicester have very few corona virus Patients, wards are closed with no patients.

                        now UHL have 165000 patients waiting for treatment , many will die, welcome to the new WORLD ORDER.
