Can't you go back and see another Doctor maybe? If not, go to A & E if you can. Honestly speaking, I don't think putting a Complaint in would be worthwhile, that could make things worse. A Friend of mine did that and they just unregistered her. She then had the problem of Registering with another Doctor which had to be in the Catchment Area. Took a good couple of weeks for her to sort out.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. GPs usually try very hard to reassure patients. Your medical history is complex and many people ( doctors are people too) would struggle with how best to help you. You find yourself in a tough situation. One thing that might help is working out which symptoms are " normal for you as things are".

New symptoms are better investigated especially if they are worsening. There are not always answers or diagnoses but it would help you to find a health care professional you feel understands.

Could you have a chat with one of the nurse practitioners at your surgery. Or do you have community matrons in your area that keep an eye on patients with complex needs?

Not what you're looking for?
