Comments on: Polly’s Adventures in NHS Wonderland http://pollyannapenguin.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/pollys-adventures-in-nhs-wonderland/ This is a blog about me, my recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and my struggles to stay positive about it!

Mind you, some of the registrars have been great! I just wish they’d be there the next time.

The only more regular check I have is the monthly methotrexate blood test with a nurse which is at our local surgery, not hospital, and unless I mess up and forget the appointment then I usually do see the same nurse and she’s lovely.

What annoys me is that they’ve changed my check up clinic and now I don’t see my usual doctor for check ups. I only see her if i need a steroid or something. I know they can’t always give you the same doctor but surely it makes sense to keep me with the person who diagnosed me, treats me and knows all my history? Nevermind eh..
