Thanks for your replies.
Derek, I would be very grateful for local information. I e-mailed you
yesterday - did you get my post? If not (I've had problems with Ntl) I'll
try again using Yahoo.
MB, I'm trying to manage without the anti-histamines for a few days, using a
nasal spray, and we'll see how it goes. I have year- round rhinitis which is
very irritating without medication. As far as quality of care goes, as Derek
said, the National Health is geared towards giving excellent care in
emergency situations but you tend to be put on the back burner once you're
no longer classed as in danger. It just does not have the resources to do
speedy tests on patients who aren't critical, although in time I may get
some of the ones you mentioned. As I said in my first post I'm going to
ask my GP to refer me to a consultant and if he recommends any of these
tests I will find the resources to pay for them to be done quickly.
Kevin, Thanks for such a long, interesting and detailed post. I was
particularly interested to read what your urologists had said about a floppy
bladder being able to recover after a period of ICC. When I get to see the
consultant I will ask about this. Good luck with your fight against that
infection, it sounds like a trial to live with.
To all, I'm sorry about my irritating mis-spelling of 'catheter' all the way
through my first post - in future I will check what I've written before
posting!
Dan
