Hi I am 69 I have two main problems nobody has believed me, not even my own children and my GP who unfortunately has destroyed me and I'm now a cripple. I have been advise to sue the NHS for a lifetime of total misdiagnosis by every doctor or consultant I have seen and the abuse carries on. I can't understand why Consultants are so rude they are supposed to help those who need help not totally dismiss them without asking what their problems are. I desperately need a wheelchair but can't afford one. Shopping is out o the question are holidays without a buggy.

Hi @Bendy, welcome to the community, I hope we can help.
There are various options for getting a wheelchair. There was a great discussion here: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/31094/advice-on-getting-a-wheelchair with some of the options.
I'm sure others here have more experience to help with your NHS issue. Of they are being rude and dismissive you could try making a formal complaint or getting transferred to a different consultant?
I like your picture. Is that a new grand child?
