After talking to my doctor today I have found out that the doctors have been given me folic acid tablets for over 12 month that was only meant tobe for 3 months, after reading about the long team taking the medication is very scary but he as not told me to stop them.. I now need a full MOT on bloods, we are trying to change doctors as quickly as possible my anxiety is so bad now I've got all this ontop sorry for saying this but it must be said  I'M PISSID OFF sorry for wording.

I'm so sorry to hear this - that would stress anyone out and on so many levels. It just reminds me that while doctors and science is great, the practice of being a medical doctor is still an art. We have to be astute consumers, but that is hard when we also trust our doctors and they are the ones who know medicine. I'm so sorry. Looking for another doctor sounds like the best move - your trust in your current set is compromised. I wish you strength in that search, you can do this! In many regards the internet can make it so much more feasible to look for new doctors, albeit stressful and anxiety triggering.

It's ok to let your frustration come out on here, too! It is totally warranted, and I find that with things like this where you can't turn back time and really, you only have or have had very limited control, just letting out that frustration is needed and can bring some relief, so I can better tackle the task before me. So, for me at least, you have no need to apologize! Your frustration is completely understandable!

If it helps your worry about being on it for 12 months, I’ve taken folic acid daily for 12 years, per my doctor’s recommendation and have had no adverse side effects or anything serious happen to me health wise as a result.

Also re-reading your post are you saying your doctor intended for you to be on them for 3 months but didn’t communicate that to you and yet still wants you to continue? Or did you read the 3 month duration somewhere online? By the way, I totally get changing doctors if you feel it’s not a good partnership.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
