Hi all thank you for letting me join this group it has been an eye opener as I have thought I was going mad or turning into a crazy hypochondriac for the last three years when I look back at my life (I’m 48 now) I realise I have had several relapses from about the age of 22 which were passed off as either over doing things or a virus however for the past two years my health has taken a massive slide I cannot walk far without feeling exhausted and painful legs sleep is a luxury as I’m in so much pain my vision has deteriorated rapidly and I have weakness in all my
joints and muscles I struggle to find words when I’m talking and drop things all the time I’m currently waiting for an mri to be done on my spine but not on my brain I’ve seen several gps and they just look at you blankly and arrange for blood tests of which one came back last year as severely deficient in vitamin d to which I thought was the answer to all my problems however my symptoms are just getting worse even though the vitamin deficiency has been rectified what I’m asking is what should I be saying to my gp to get them to listen to me as I feel that two years of banging my head against the wall isn’t doing me any good I’m not a pushy person but I’m so tired of feeling ill all the time any advice on how to get my point across would be gratefully received thank you
