Clarifying My Experience: NEAD Patients Need Compassionate GP Care

I want to add some clarification and context to my previous update.

 


I’ve experienced neglect from three different GP practices while living with daily seizures. In my last update, I shared how I was spoken to with rudeness and ignorance when trying to explain my situation. To clarify, my chronic pain and suffering from NEAD have significantly affected my mental health and, at times, left me feeling completely hopeless.

 


My intention in sharing this is not to focus on the darkest moments, but to show why proper, compassionate care from GP practices is essential. Patients with NEAD and other chronic or misunderstood conditions deserve timely support, understanding, and communication — not dismissal or neglect.

 


I also want to remind supporters that I cannot manage social media due to my condition. Please continue to help by sharing this petition in your networks, community groups, or with anyone who can help raise awareness. Every share and signature helps make sure this issue is seen and heard.

 


Thank you again to everyone who has signed and shared — your support is genuinely making a difference. 💙
