Hi Meggie, I wonder if she means that everyone who is actually referred to them has to undergo the test as I'm sure not everyone at the Whitt has had to have it. Did they give you any idea how long you need to wait for it? and are you staying overnight in hospital for it?
Dunno hun. I've said I'll take whichever is quicker. I kinda hope the overnight stay is quicker as I wouldn't have to book time off work to pick it up and drop it off. I think the other way is quicker though.
You also mention going private for the psych assessment. Was this your choice and is Mr Sufi happy for you to do this?
I've decided to go private for my psych as my psych appointment isn't until the 29th of January. I may be lucky and get a cancellation but not counting on that! I contacted Kirsten about it and she gave me the name of the person we will have to see on the NHS. My next appointment with Mr Heath is on the 7th of December so I want all results back by then if possible!
I've heard there's a long waiting list at St Annes. I've also been referred to them but have emailed both Kirsten and Mr Sufi to ask if I could be referred to my local Eating Disorders clinic instead as it's going to be incredibly difficult for me to actually get to St Annes. I haven't heard back from them yet but it's only been a few days since I emailed them. I'd certainly consider going private if necessary!
Well the cost for assessment is £300 quid an hour. I have had to think long and hard about going private for it, but the way I look at it is if it cuts a month off my wait then it is £300 well spent. Just means not eating for the next month which will help my diet no end!!!!
Sorry for all the Q's just trying to get an idea in my mind of what to expect
xx
No worries hun! Any time!! Obviously I'm still moving along the path and clearly still know ****-all!!! Hahahaha. I will try and help whenever possible though!!!
