It's been a while since I last posted anything but a lot has happened...

Not sure how to start off but anyway I thought I post an update.
For those of you that know I absolutely love horses, I brought my own last year in November everything was going really well until the end of July this year when he put me in hospital with severe concussion and a badly bruised right hip and lower back I was only for a day which was really lucky as it could have been a lot worse in fact I have had a lot worse happen, anyway I had his back checked out and the vet came back and said "this horse should never have been sold to you like this, his back is in a bad way" when he said that I just cried I love that horse to bits, anyway the insurance have been brilliant and I can't thank them enough. Marley(my horse) I had to make the worst decision of my life to have him PTS(Put To Sleep)/Euthanasia it happened on the 3rd of December 2015 :cry:.

As you can Imagine I was absolutely heart-broken, he was part of the family, he was my Pride and Joy I loved him so much and will never forget him he was only 6 years old that's so young :cry: RIP Marley my beautiful boy. This hasn't put me off horses at all I have been riding for a long time and won't stop no matter what, I plan on getting another horse after Christmas in the New Year so that is something to look forward to :). We also thought we were going to lose one of our dogs as well but luckily she bounced back to her normal 'ish' self :).

Anyway sorry for putting the sad part first :( I'm okay well sort of hanging in there 6 months ago my gastro doc thought it was a good idea to take me off azathioprine without tapering(which he said he was going to do) Nope he just took me straight off it thinking I was in remission I was alright for about a month but what he didn't realize was he was wrong and 6 months down the line right before Christmas I'm in a flare again but I can't get through to anyone to make an appointment in January to see him about this and in all honesty I don't want to see him mainly because every time I do I feel like he doesn't listen to a word I'm saying, I feel like I'm wasting his time I don't feel like he's helping me at all, I have tried changing to see if I can see someone different but it hasn't worked so I guess I'm stuck with him :yrolleyes:.

To top it all off I also lost my job one of them was the beginning of last year and the other was the beginning of this year all because of Crohn's as usual :ybatty: So I'm currently unemployed and claiming benefits which I'm not proud of I've been on them for at least 2 years now and I'm not proud of it all because I can't keep a job due to Crohn's, appointments, going to see someone about my eyesight, the fact that I am autistic nobody seem to understand and much more. :ymad: I hate this so much :yrolleyes:.

Anyway I'm currently really frustrated and in pain Oh and sorry for the long post :ybatty:.
 
No need to apologize for the long post. I am sorry for you losing your horse. I used to love horse back riding when I was a teenager but we moved and it was too expensive to keep a horse . I think it is a crime that you have a doctor who won't listen to you. I hope things change. Let us know.

Thanks :) It was sad losing him but knowing that it was the best thing to do for him I don't feel to bad if you know what I mean. It is very expensive but it's what I love to do being around horses is the most amazing thing ever as far as I'm concerned :) I've been having issues with my doctor not listening to me ever since I was switched from Paediatrics(not sure on spelling) to him and that was at least 5 years ago so I think I have kind off given up trying to change I might try again soon but I doubt they would change.
 
I wonder why switching medicines would make a difference in him listening to you.

I haven't switched medicines, He's taken me off Medication probably thinking that I would be fine haha more like not giving a care in the world about what he does he even did it without tapering me of them I think he just waiting for me to end up in A&E before he does anything oh that can be arranged but I'm not going to do that as that would be just plain silly.
 
Yeah it is wrong but I think I have gotten to the point where I'm not bothered anymore I'm fed up with it happening all the time I have tried changing consultants but so far no luck there it's annoying but there isn't much I can do I've given up hope :(.
