Long and boring story short, I was diagnosed with ME/CFS about a decade ago. Last year I noticed a dramatic change in my fatigue levels, and had a bit of a relapse, resulting in time off work. Things didn’t improve brilliantly, but enough that I could carry on with life & get back to my job - I went to my GP in the summer with concerns about my symptoms worsening (increased fatigue, brain fog, clumsiness & migraines). My GP had blood tests done, which came back as very low vitamin D, and that was it - take vitamin D at high levels, and that’ll solve things.
Well, it hasn’t. If anything, things are worse now - I’ve been off work for several weeks now (though am desperate to get back because whilst still exhausted I’m bored stiff!) due to fatigue. My brain fog has turned into full-on aphasia some days which is distressing when I forget basic things, or can’t process basic questions from my fiancé like ‘what would you like for dinner?’, and I’m getting daily numbness & tingling in my legs & hands. WIBU to ask you what your early symptoms were, and if I should push for my GP to have this investigated instead of fobbing me off with low vitamin levels like last year (though I feel guilty having seen her quite regularly recently with the current time off, I always feel like I’m wasting their time)?
