Hi,
I suffer with agoraphobia and in the past have had blood clots so I'm on warfarin tablets for life and have to go for regular check ups. This has become a major problem With the the agoraphobia. The last time my doc came to do my blood test he basically said that he can't keep doing home visits and I need to go to the surgery, I felt awful and useless when he said this but I feel he's put the pressure on me now to go into the surgery.
The receptionist called me today to say they will not be giving me any more warfarin tablets unless I go into the surgery to monitor my blood, so now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I know I need to go so I can sort out my prescriptions but already I feel wobbly and nervous! I am trying to take baby steps to help myself but don't cope very well when I have an appointment and feel I HAVE to go :(
Help, what do I do?????
