I know generally they hate you doing this and want you to talk about only one ailment at each appointment, however, from the time I initially phoned up to get an appointment it has taken me over a month to actually get one. I have multiple things that I want to discuss which I think could potentially be connected so it could actually be useful to mention them all at once if you see what I mean.

But in the past when I've tried to do this they just sort of ignore anything after the first one. Should I bother?

Fwiw, the 'reason' for the appointment is that I've had pain, numbness and tingling (pins & needles) in my hands, in addition to a number of other symptoms, including a skin condition which has remained unresponsive to previous treatments. I want to have my thyroid checked as the two can be connected and I have a family history of thyroid problems.

I'm on some medication for another, unrelated issue and need the dosage changed, and I need a referral physio after I had an accident 6 months ago.

I also haven't had a smear in 5 years since I had CIN 2 abnormal cells in my last one (they haven't sent me any letters and i only just realised its been so long).

Wibu to bring all this up in the same appointment? I know its a lot (I'm generally just falling apart at the moment) but at the rate the appointments are being given out right now it'll be 6 months before I can get everything seen to otherwise!
