I recently saw my NHS medical records for the first time and was quite surprised to see I'd apparently had a minor op that I'd never had, amongst other inaccuracies. However, my GP told me that these can't be removed or amended. Apparently, all they can do is add a note to say something along the lines of that I've disagreed with that particular entry, after I've put it in writing to them.
Maybe not all GPs are fully aware of what's in the following link, and/or of the reference "1" at the bottom of the page?
Amending medical records - what are patients' rights?

Practices could find themselves fielding more queries from patients about the contents of their medical records following the introduction of the GDPR. The MDU's Dr Carol Chu...
As an example: sometimes, incorrect data might the result of a doctor or specialist not hearing properly. Eg, I once had a specialist (not MS related) enter on his report letter that I'd had symptoms since 1974, which wasn't at all true. When I told him it was more like 1997, he insisted it was 1974 because that's what I told him. I had quite an argument with him before he amended his letter, as he kept insisting that what he "heard" must be correct.
Have any of you seen your medical records and found any errors or inaccuracies? If so, were you successfully able to get them amended?
I just want to know if someone has any experience using a certain strain of marijuana for pain relief?
One of my friends got me to try his vape with cannabis infused juice but we have no idea what strain of marijuana was used for it.
It really gives you that relaxing feeling and somehow comforting. I don't know if it's the punch of the highness that marijuana gives but it does work.
So I started reading article and news about medical marijuana strains and how would you put it to work. One of them is http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/hindu-kush/.
The potency of the strain when it comes to pain is very high. I don't know if this is true coz I don't really care with the names or strain back when I was young and smoking it.
I would really like to hear any feedback from you guys. Thanks In advance
Has anyone asked a member of their neuro team about the reson for variable function? Today, for instance, i did some sitting tasks (writing etc) then i washed bathroom floor and then went outside, got gardening tools from the shed, cut back some plants that had flowered, then sqt and chatted to friend on mobile. I was then unable to return tools to shed so slowly 'walked' back inside, made a coffee and by stages got to easy chair....phew! I rested and did some crocheting. After an hour function had returned: i got lunch, put the tools away, put debris on pile, went upstairs and tidied up a bit. So, why this fluctuation? It isn't tiredness; it's that the nerves aren't sending the messages to the muscles. I'm so glad that recovery is so quick and some function returns. It just seems very odd and i wonder if anyone out there can suggest what is going on? Thank you! Jill :-Q

I had an appointment with my MS Nurse last week. After a discussion with the neuro, she has advised me to retire (10 years) early. After much reflection, I have decided that she is right.
I would be very grateful if someone could advise me of a good website (or other source) that might contain useful advice on what steps to take when faced with this situation. I haven't really got a clue where to start!
