Dr Bela Szebenyi was my consultant rheumatologist at Barrow In furness hospital. I really wanted to leave him a review but the hospital's listed were not the ones I saw him at, sorry for any inconvenience with regards to that. I went to see this consultant rheumatologist for a blood test to see if I had rheumatoid arthritis, he advised me that I had not long since had a blood test and did I really need another. The consultation progressed with this kind doctor asking lots of questions about my health (historically and currently) to enable him to make an informed decision about his diagnosis. The consultant then proceeded to press and touch certain parts of my body which unbeknown to me was a test. After the test and the multiple questions, he gave me a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and suggested I start a pregabalin immediately as fibromyalgia is classified as neuropathic pain on the N.I.C.E guidelines. I have since had an 11-month battle with the doctor which this lovely consultant rheumatologist tried to help with. If I am completely honest which I always am to a fault, this consultant rheumatologist is 110% trustworthy. He listens and does his job without judgment or prejudice. When I was advised I was suffering from institutional abuse from my then doctor, I returned to Dr Bela Szebenyi and asked him how people were treated in Hungary and he suggested spa treatments. Want an absolute angel this man is, he gave me a way to relieve some of the pain whilst I was subject to institutional abuse from my then doctor. I cannot say thank you to this man enough. Thank you thank you thank you.
