I really hope you start feeling better soon. As you know I am also familiar with how the UK Health "Service" sucks....... it is so frustrating, and more so when people from elsewhere maybe don't understand just HOW bad it is. BLECH

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to infinity

All I can say is that I have had better results when I have DEMANDED help...... it feels degrading to have to do that and it's a negative experience, but sometimes seems the only way to get any sort of result

I know your GP is a "good" one...... but the "help" you are receiving is NOT good ENOUGH..... you know?
