Ok not literally a 'bloody' BT (obviously) but ykwim.
I am so annoyed with my GP. I rang on Monday to ask if I could have a BT testing iron, vit D, vit B and whatever else relevant as I just dont feel right recently. My bones ache, when I wake up in the morning and my feet touch the floor they ache pretty badly especially when I walk. I get tired picking up very clingy teething dc2. I suffered with severely low levels of vit.D in my first pregnancy and low iron on and off since adolescence. I feel tired all the time, no motivation, like in a fog.
Anyway so back to Monday. The receptionist on phone had a word with GP and he okay'd it and she told me to pick up the form tomorrow (as in today) and take it to the phlebotomy clinic at the hosp. Went to pick it up today, and surprise surprise no sign of form. Receptionist asks GP again and after checking my records he changes his mind and refuses, saying I dont need it.
I last had a routine BT during pregnancy with dc2, born 7 months ago. Surely thats quite a long time ago now, and since then my body's gone through hell labour, breast feeding, sleep deprivation, skipping meals/eating anything quick while busy with dc. I was nearly in tears when she told me. I'm not sure why, I just feel so shit and my GP doesn't give a shit!
Aibu to have a blood test if I feel I need one. Or is my GP right in saying I should be fine as I was ok during second pregnancy? (Regularly took pregnacare then though). I feel he thinks i'm a hypochondriac.
