I can't quite believe it but an appointment came through. I am waiting to be diagnosed and didn't expect to be seen for months. On calling my GP (I live in Warwickshire) she said that referral to hospital are starting again. So she referred me last week and I have an appointment next week! I thought I would share for those of you who are waiting on appointment it may be worth chasing them now.

Well that’s good news. I think the hospitals are trying to get their normal services going again.

That's great - hopefully they're seeing new referrals first so they can get started on medication 👍

That is such good news and I'm thrilled for you. Don't forget, best undies in case you have to take off your outer things for examination.

Good tip but when I receive the appointment notice it was for a telephone appointment so probably won't have to strip!
