Well dear.....not much else I can advise you to.  So sorry you are suffering though.  

Keep trying with the physicians.  

[shellie85]

ive had long disscussons with the hospital and the managers ive had meetings with them there still refusing and denying that the polyp is giving off symptoms all i know at moment is im in sever pain i cant eat or sleep properly cause im in too much pain

[Londres70]

Well.....see if this is possible and if it is then do it as soon as possible.  

In regards to this hospital and your complaints.....did you talk with someone in person, write a letter or talked to someone on the phone?

[shellie85]

ive not tried that yet ty

[Londres70]

Can't you file a complaint with the NHS?

[shellie85]

ive tried the complaints department and explained to them whats going off and im in contact with the managing director of the hospital but they dont seem to be listening either im just stuck with a polyp and a load of pain and none listening to me  

[Londres70]

Oh dear, well...that explains why things are the way they are.  

Is there any appeal board or some kind or board or organization you can notify about your situation and can help you get the care you need?

[shellie85]

yes as i cant afford to go private

[Londres70]

Are all these physicians in the NHS?  

[shellie85]

i just keep getting told that polyos dont give symtoms it must be something else but ive a gut feeling it is the polyp

[shellie85]

im just been passed around to doctor to doctor they not listening to me and im just sat at home suffering i dont know what to do anymore

[Londres70]

Why aren't you seeing a GI Specialist for this?  Why hasn't the polyps or polyp been removed?
