The NHS is on its knees but it's very variable from one region and one specialism to another. My husband in on the waiting list for an ablation to sort out atrial flutter. He's been told 8 to 9 months. We have just paid 20k for a pacemaker because he could have died waiting for that. Private services are now also under pressure because of the number of people spending their life savings to get off waiting lists. My NHS rheumatology department doesn't even answer emails asking what to do about serious side effects, so I pay a private guy as well I wish I could be more positive about my own country, but that's the honest truth, sorry.

The NHS is broken i would advise against it personally. If you have a recognised conditio nHS found im sure youd be ok, but if like me, you have an atypical presentation and they dont have to treat you, they wont. Worse still if they know theyare liablefor missed findings likeme, they close ranks and protect each other. Thing is i dont know what they are playing at as i will just pay for another and see a specialist privately, theyre not getting aay with this. Ill be lucky if i get any quality of life back now its reached my TMJ and skull- 16 enthesitis points

Youre entitled to as many opinions as you want i later found out.
