I just feel like doctors haven't got a clue about this condition or they think it's a non-issue. I mean no clinical basis? They don't know it ruins lives and people contemplate s*****e and I would bet money that some have killed themselves. I've considered it myself and it still crosses my mind, although I never would. I'm so pissed off. I pay my taxes and they're denying me something which could improve my life no end.
I'm not letting this go anyway. I'm going to make a nuisance of myself and write letters to my MP and the Health Secretary if necessary. I'll bring this forum to their attention aswell so they can see for themselves the struggles people go through on a day to day basis.

Is this because you’re going as a public patient? Are you able to get approval if you go as a private patient and pay for it?Mac wrote: The GP showed me the letter and it said that it would be difficult to get funding for the surgery because there is no 'clinical basis'.
I completely encourage you to do so, someone’s ought to take us seriously and consider that this is a serious condition that has a severe impact on the sufferer’s life!!Mac wrote: I'm not letting this go anyway.

I've tried gargling with hydrogen peroxide and it doesn't work for me. And it burns my mouth. I apply it directly with cotton wool to my tonsils which works better.
Sadmum, I don't know if I would get approval if I went private. I did look into it and it's £250 for a consultation and I've read something like £2000 for tonsillectomy. Which I can't pay for at the moment. Anyway, I got a letter about an appointment for later this month so lets see what happens. I'm preparing myself to give him some shit!
£250 for the consultation and £90 for them to stick the endoscope up your nose and around your sinuses, they fail to mention that lolMac wrote:Thanks coconut and sadmum. No, I wouldn't kill myself but you're right I shouldn't even think about it. But finding out recently a friend has let me down and pushing myself through my comfort zone with a lot of things, not just this, I guess I'm a little bit more vulnerable than normal. Good that you're still with us coconuthead.
