Still going with the GoFundMe, but it has stalled a little over the last week.
My update this week wasn't fun to write. It's about the experience of getting my prescription and facing homophobic abuse and threats of violence in the pharmacy.

but it was good to speak about the impact of #ADHD and likely #ASD, as well as diagnosis and #NHSLothian and their abandonment of my case, nonetheless.
I was supposed to be interviewed by #BBC #RadioNanGàidheal too last week, but they cancelled on the day.

Struggling wi chronic back pain, refused to be seen by NHSLothian after a referral as I'm under Fife, been told they will only be seeing Lothian patients so can't see me. No treatment due to a postcode.
Down in England I had nerve ablation done which worked wonders.
22 years NHS service as well.😔
