I went today for a couple of issues which I told the receptionist about on the phone. One was insomnia and headaches. I did explain I was stressed at the moment. Her first thought was to prescribe anti depressants with a sedative effect. Apparently these ones help you sleep quite deeply which I don’t feel too good about as I’m a single parent to a young DC. I also think she didn’t try and get to the cause of why I felt stressed or even do any things to see why I’m getting headaches so often, she just went straight to anti depressants. I also have chronic shoulder pain, which gets worse and when it flares up, I’m struggling to move it. I thought she would have a look and ask me to put my arm into positions so she can see where the pain is. She also didn’t ask me if I’d injured it or try to see why it might have started. I was just asked to self refer to physio. Aibu to feel dismissed?
