I really do feel as if in losing my mind as gp has dismissed all my symptoms.
I've been going back and forth (although only probably 4 or 5 times) for a number of reasons including memory loss/lack of concentration; pain in joints; lack of energy; sharp pain in thigh...I had convinced myself it was a blood clot and gp even sent me to a&e with that; as well as swollen, painful joints, particularly my right hand.
I've actually changed my sofa as thought my thigh might be digging in to that.
18 months ago I had blood tests which showed low on vitamin d and folic acid. Returned with good blood test results but my symptoms were still the same. I was told my bloods were good so what had i come in expecting her to do ???
So (different go this time) she's once again doing blood tests. I've asked if its arthritis in my hand (she didn't even look at it) and could all my symptoms by fibromyalgia (after looking at threads on here).
Was told there's no test for that and I should have continued taking vitamin d tablets so it's probably that.
Was asked how my mood is....I said I'm feeling so low as I've had 2 years of pain and exhaustion. She told me depression can cause these symptoms. I'm not depressed, I'm feeling low because of the symptoms.
Anyone have any ideas ?
And how on earth can I get my gp to listen to me ? I went in today feeling quite strong and determined not to leave without something being done. Doesn't seem to have worked.
I'm so fed up of having to work my days around recovery periods just so I can barely function the following day....all I can manage nowadays is the school run. Anymore means a day or 3 in bed !
