Hi suziem - Thanks for writing back. I'm glad they're doing those tests, but I was wondering if they were doing tests like a complete blood panel, urinalysis and so forth, something more along the lines of a full physical or well woman exam. Given your symptoms it would seem like a thorough check up would help identify what's going on. If you still feel your gp isn't taking you seriously after today's appointment, and if the results aren't helpful to you, are you able to see another doctor? I know it can be very inconvenient to go to someone new, but feeling lousy is inconvenient too, right? Keep in touch, let us know what you learn, and let's see what can be done to get you to your best health possible.
Take care,
Pat
