I'm not sure doctors in the UK believe and/or prescribe complementary treatments.

Since my diagnosis of TBI back in May, my subsequent NHS experience has mostly been:

Me: My head hurts

GP: Could be depression

Me: I feel dizzy

GP: Could be depression

Me: I feel sick

GP: Could be depression

Me: My vision is blurred

GP: Could be depression

Me: My ears are ringing. Is that depression, too?

Etc.

I actually find it quite offensive.

The neuro I was seeing recommended I be presrcibed a medication - something beginning with N - but nothing ever came of it. I had forgotten than until somebody mentioned emergency medications in another thread.

The only treatment I've actually had so far is phsyiotherapy which my solicitor arranged for me. If it weren't for the fact I have legal help, I'm pretty sure I'd have slipped through the net completely.

For such a common thing you'd think there'd be more awareness of it, if nothing else. Sometimes I think GPs look more confused than I am.
