I am also in the UK and it has taken me three years since diagnosis to feel as though I am actually getting someone listening to me - I hope your experience is better but my experience is that as long as referrals meet the 12week target of being seen you then are left to get on with it. I would recommend you try your best to get Mark admitted to hospital, even if it is 45miles away.Good luck. |
You know, it is a terrible thought, but severe PN in a person like this progressing rapidly, could be paraneoplastic.
Certain cancers cause PN like this. Has he had a chest Xray? http://www.uptodate.com/contents/par...rve-and-muscle |

He did have a chest X-ray about 3 mths ago, as the Dr suspected he had COPD. There was signs of COPD, but he had the blow tests done and the results were mild COPD. I'm not going to let this lay, I will be back on to the Dr's if things don't start to settle down. If anything else comes to mind, please let me know. Hope your feeling better Buttercup x |

I could see on Thursday that our Dr was not happy with the way Mark is suffering, but other than him faxing off a letter to the neurologist there is little more he can do. I can't understand why they have not referred him to the pain clinic? The would seem a normal process to me! Thanks for the input :) Buttercup x |
I'm so sorry
I am so sorry to hear about your husband, Is there any way to get him to a Emergency room, that's what I did last week and they put me in the hospital immediately, I was able to get help very quickly, they did so many tests, sometimes it pays to go through the ER. I hope he feels better soon. Blessings, Jan
