I am currently living with chronic pain and seeking help to get healthcare.
TLDR: My internal organs are working against me and I urgently need funds either for travel to access alternative NHS services or for private treatment.
I previously had a fantastic GP who monitored my hormone levels and was so helpful in his communication with my endocrinologist and gender clinic. Unfortunately since he left the practice just after 2019, the care I received has got worse and worse, to the point where I've been left with no choice than to try to seek private treatment or to travel to alternative NHS services (I live in a rural area with only one doctor's surgery).
Due to my long-term chronic pain (thought to be caused by potential endometriosis) I have been trying to access surgery for over a year to hopefully decrease the pain I'm in on a daily basis. I have now been denied surgery referrals twice (GP claims it's the job of the GIC, meanwhile the GIC claims it's the job of the GP). My GIC have been unhelpful throughout and refuse to communicate with my GP. I have now been able to transfer to a new GIC but I have to wait for psychiatric help prior to surgery due to my PTSD.
The constant pain and lack of care by my local medical services are taking a huge toll on my mental health. Any funds would be greatly appreciated- I understand we're living in a crisis when it comes to healthcare so please only donate if you can, but please share if you're unable to donate.
Thank you x -Bat / Jamie
