Default Too good to last

Hi,
Thanks everyone for their positive responses.

Yesterday was the day from hell! I knew I was in trouble from the moment I woke up. My right eye was closed and everytime I tried to look at something my left eyeball decided to roll back in my head. That eased off but my breathing went all wacky, one minute reading 84% Oxygen the next minute back to 99%. I was exhausted and scared so I rang my GP for advice.

He told me that the Primary Care Trust are likely to block the application for me having oxygen at home. Due to the fact, these are his words not mine " you have an unknown condition, Oxygen is given to people who have a recognised condition of the lungs". To say I was devestated would be a minor understatement. So due to the day I had been having I asked "whens it best to call an ambulance?"
"When you feel short of breath and your numbers are low."

So I already feel like Im back at square one. I battled all day to stay out of the hospital, because I knew I wouldn't get anywhere if I did go.

What am I supposed to do?

Love
Rach
