Here is the result of my meeting with GP this morning. Thia was my 3rd attempt as I had to cancel the previous 2 due to being unwell and anxious. Started off by asking if there was a substitute for Diclofenac Sodium as they took edge off pain when I needed them. He mentioned that there was load of articles in papers and TV about these pills but he reckoned I should just continue with them. I was taken off them due to high risk of heart attack. I then told him of the blinding headaches I have been getiing for while now, he said it will be due to my condition, Osteoarthritis (Spinal Canal Stenosis) Osteporosis, Fibromyalgia,Asthma, Anxiety Neurosis, etc. I then mentioned I had ESA questionare and would he be able to help me with letter to have mome medical. He said the ATOS people are very busy and that to have a home medical is very costly and time consuming for them and that he would only consider it for a severly disabled person and no other. I explained that I have always seen him for past 30yrs and that he knows how my condition is , not some ATOS person with probably no medical experiance, he then said I understand and that he would do a letter, but I dont think it will be of much use to ATOS etc. Thanks again JD
