Just don't give up on trying to find an
answer and if they blow you off, don't let
them. Ring and pester them. Some doctors
are aweful and inseatd of trying to
discover whats really the cause they just
fob you off with some crap diagnosis. My
mum was diagnosed with thyroid disease
after 20 years of misdiagnosis, when it
was at it's worst, the doctors said it was
early onset of menopause. An iridolodist
picked it and told her to check it out.
She was not a well person and the point
being, doctors really should have picked
it up easily with a simple blood test
because she was not a stable healthy
person. So hang in there, I know it sucks
but go to the newspapers if you have to,
cause some noise.
