Ive suffered from panic attacks for over 21 years now and its worse than ever now, I would say Im at the agrophobic satge, but my biggest fear is anything medical, seeing doctors, taking medicine or seeing dentist, fear of dying and cardiophobia.
I have been getting lower rate care for 2 years now based on me having corrosion of the knees, however a friend of my husband told me because of my severe anxiety I could get a higher award, so I submitted a new form and they got a medical report off a doctor ive only seen twice in all my life, and he said in his oppinion there was nothing wrong with me.
I was turned down because of him and now DLA are saying they think I should not be getting the lower rate either.
How can this be, when I first started having panic attacks I was never away from my doctors surgery or A & E, this went on for about 2 years and I was told it was all in my head, that hurt so I stopped going to the doctors.
Ive only been a few times in the last few years, bad back, knees and panic attacks, yet my report misses this all out.
Plus I nearly died and was in hospital because I had a severe infected gall blader that I kept ignoring, plus Ive tried taking my life and then panicked and had stomach pumped and scars all up my arm, whereI have self harmed.
Been depressed for years yet this GP said there is nothing wrong with me, he wants to come and live in my world where I cant get a sleep at night and even if I do im woken up with panic attacks up to 10 times a night, then all during the day.
Sorry for the moan on my first ever post.
