Is this GP a bit over zealous?

I had some bloods done a year ago due to being tired all the time but they all came back normal so I just left it thinking if there was anything wrong it would show up in the bloods.

I've been back to the GP again today as still tired and fed up now. GP thinks I might have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm a bit shocked. It seems quite a jump?

They're sending me for more bloods (a nice 2 week wait and 30 mile round trip for that joy thanks to the current state of the nhs) but the GP said they didn't think they would show anything.

I suppose I should be grateful they're taking it seriously and not fobbing me off. I think it's just taken me by surprise.

A lot can change in a year but it sounds unusual that they suggested that as my experience is that they withhold diagnosis and reluctant to diagnose with chronic fatigue syndrome. Either way just try and distract yourself until then.

If they’re planning on a referral to the CFS clinic then you have to have a load of routine bloods done before the referral can be made. I wouldn’t worry, it’s just normal NHS procedure.

They sound just zealous enough.
