Can someone help me please? My GP referred me to a psychiatrist (which I did not know about), and refuses to refer me to a neurologist; She has put me on amitriptyline 25 mg. I turned up at the clinic thinking it was a pain management clinic but it turned out to be a mental health clinic?????? Do we have any advocate in UK who can help me to complain about this and ge her to refer me t a neurologist. ---

I don’t know anything about the UK health system, but wanted to say I hope you find another doctor and pain relief soon! Can you go to a hospital emergency room with your pain? What your doctor did was very wrong !! Makes me angry. I hope you can report his insensitivity as well as his uncaring manner and inability to treat you to someone higher up. Thinking of you, (( hugs )) Mimi ---

How b... ignorant of the GP. Amitriptyline 25mg... well that's a start ... I do hope you can get better attention than that.. another doctor?? I'm really not sure if it's worth the energy required to go thru the complaint route. I certainly don't have that level of energy, or more pointedly, the engagement, to bother. I'd just move on.. stuff the lot of them . ( I'm not trying to tell you how to run your life). A lot of ATN / TN sufferers will have depressive episodes, and it really is something to be aware of, particualry if you've never had an episode in your "normal " i.e. pre ATN / TN life. But a psychiatrist??? Yes the pain is all in your head alright, right there in the trigeminal b... nerve!!! All the best to you. ---

Hi Craig, Thank you for your comment; that is exactly how I felt. what a cheek! Craig, it is not easy to change doctors now-a-days in UK. Things are really bad. Anyway, she saw me on Thursday and apologized, reluctantly she referred me to a neurologist. I do not think she did the referral properly, though. NHS may well reject it!!! I think she referred me so that I withdraw my complaint. I think i will wait to respond to her until I hear from the neurologist; I think this is my best strategy!!! Willing to take any other suggestions from anyone. By-the-way, Craig, I can see the picture of Lord Shiva behind you!!! I love Shiva. Have you ever been to India to see any of 12 temples of Shiva?
