About a week ago, I started getting a rash, which continues to spread. It is non blanching (it doesn't disappear/go white when pressed.) I also am very dizzy, extremely tired and feel sick, though this only started a 5 days ago. My husband is currently buying a thermometer (ours has broken), as I feel extremely hot as of this morning.
My GP was concerned, did some blood work, where nothing came back too obvious - but a lot on the border/just below/just above 'normal.' They sent me, with a referral letter to A&E, saying I need same day specialist tests and to see specialists (e.g. a Derm and hematologist etc), as they think it could be something like Vasculitis or something more.
The hospital triaged me around 5 times, and then said that they need me to see a hospital GP before I could have any tests, who I saw after 7 hours. They said that yes, I need specialist tests and consultations, but as everyone has gone home, I need to call my GP tomorrow and arrange a referral (they had the GP's letter already and I pointed this out.)
My GP is now saying I have been referred already, whilst the hospital has washed their hands of it essentially.
Any idea what I can do to get someone to help? The symptoms continue to get worse.
I am happy to go private, but that wouldn't be soon (last time I used my Bupa, it was an 8 week wait time for an appointment!)
