Re: not coping

Hopefully they sleep most of the time and it's an easier shift for you @outlander and you can get the admin work done you need to.

Re: not coping

I'm sorry that you are not feeling well @outlander

Hard when we have to do things we don't feel well enough to do.

Re: not coping

i really think i should be admitted for an inpatient treatment but the finances arent there @Snowie itsso tough i wish some things could be free or magically paid without needing to take sick leave.
physically my body just isnt coping with anything either. the fatigue is next level and worsening so i need to speak to gp about it as well.

Re: not coping

I understand not being admitted @outlander because of things out of our control.

I wish I could do more for you.

Have you got a gp appt. or do you need to make one?

Re: not coping

i cant afford to make an appointment @Snowie it costs to much so i have to wait till i have scripts and things due as well so i can make the appointment worthwhile

Re: not coping

That understandable @outlander

Even with medicare rebate, the gp is expensive.

Re: not coping

Thats a lot of money for just a gp @outlander

Is it worth looking into a gp that doesn't cost as much?

My mum changed gp's awhile ago. The one she sees now bulk bills so she doesn't have to pay anything. It worked out that they are actually a better gp than the one she was paying to see.

Re: not coping

theres isnt really one in my area that bulk bills @Snowie ive been with this gp practice for about 8 years so im hesitant to change. it never use to be a problem when i had the pension card but since im not recognized as a carer anymore i have to pay full price. i only get about $30 back as well so even though i get some back its still abit of a gap fee

theres a clinic but they are full. there is one bulk billing but i cant even understand them through their accent and lacking in as much english so its to hard for me to communicate so not an overly good option for me
