Facing appointments

[helenclaire]

This is a really big problem for me.
I haven't managed to get to the doctors surgery for 5 years but need blood tests to check my thyroid levels, up to now they have been giving me repeat prescriptions for my thyroid tablets but I have now had a letter saying i need to go for a blood test or they will not give me another prescription.
I honestly don't know how I am going to get through it.
I feel terrible just thinking about it.

Helen I am so sorry.

I have a real phobia of bloods so I have mine done at home,w ill your GP or nurse come to your house to do them? Mine do that to make sure I get my blood work done and don't miss any.

Also you can do bloods from home yourself for thyroid. There is a private company that sells thyroid tests, you take the blood at home into a small vile and send it away to the lab. Thyroid UK promote the company and GP's accept the results. My GP included as I have had to use them many times when too unwell to get to my GP or have him to my house. It's so easy and accurate too.

IF you want anymore info just inbox me.
