Is that

accurate? So that it did have an impact.

So what happened was I was misdiagnosed with tension headache for three years.

So I went to the doctors for 17 years saying it was migraine.

Then kind of, you know, various parts of my life started kind of curving in at all angles.

And I ended up very, very, very depressed.

And the attacks increased in frequency and in duration.

And so rather than saying there is nothing, sorry, this particular specialist, this particular service, this particular speciality has a very limited capacity to offer you support is a very different... conversation to saying there is nothing and to say there is nothing if someone gets written off by one clinician there is a huge amount of power in that and there's a huge amount of potential negative consequences to that one of the things that i think is really key when it comes to supporting people who are living with long-term conditions is to leave some space not for being unrealistic, not for getting your hopes up in a way which is going to be unhelpful, but leaving a bit of space for them to go and work it out themselves or for somebody who isn't you to support them.
