Healthcare professionals ringing up to say they’ll be late 10 minutes after they’re meant to be here (yea I kinda guessed that seeing as though you’re already late…) or not calling or showing up at all
Being on hold for an hour waiting for the GP staff to answer
GP constantly getting the prescription wrong even though everything is listed under a shared protocol
PIP assessors being over an hour late for the virtual assessment, not providing any form of apology, then clearly paying no attention to the answers given to the questions, as the results letter is completely fictional
Being talked to loudly and slowly (like the old sketches about English people talking to ‘foreigners’) just because I have poor speech! I understand you perfectly, I don’t have a learning disability…
Car dealers talking to my husband, even though he knows nothing about cars; I’m the driver and I’m the one asking the questions, stop telling him!
There are plenty more but this’ll do for now 😂
Hi, I’m Pauline. Keeping positive, working through a bucket list with the love of my life, my husband Gareth.
Diagnosed July 2022 Bulbar onset ALS. PEG fitted but not used yet. Speech poor, some swallowing issues, right arm weakness and loss of dexterity, left arm getting weaker. Starting to feel unsteady on feet but still mobile.
People private messaging me with a long list of problems after I said no MND , your doctor says no MND , clear emg results...........Where's Peoples morals, empathy 🙄
It's so clear to me, the difference between genuine concerns for one's health......and anxiety driven people who think it's ok to still carry on describing their symptoms, including foaming at the mouth ....wtf

That’s awful! Really sorry to hear you’ve been subjected to this. Some people!

Adding GP receptionist to the list. What a rude uncaring unprofessional **** she is. I booked a flu jab appointment in advance, she turned me away , I insisted I'm in the high risk category and have an appointment. She didn't even take my name. She said sarcastically not my fault no staff....
I screamed not my fault I'm dieing and stormed out.....well slowly and swearing along the way.
I know not very lady like but I'm sick to high heaven of being treated like dirt while trying to stay upbeat with bloody MND. Luckily for her there was a glass barrier between us, because my only good hand would be heading for her face .
People stopping for a chat in the supermarket and I can't get past.
​​​​​​
services that don't take a card. Also those that sometimes ask for a pin and I can never remember it.
People that get diesel/petrol and then buy up everything in the garage and all the pumps are taken and I have to wait for them to finish.
Watching TV and most of the ads are for funeral services.
🤔
when i can think of something profound i will update this.
