Hi .... I am back for your assistance and advice if you are able, please...
I am sooo frustrated, very low, and feel i am losing a long fought battle with GP!!..Since i last wrote on here, i have constantly been in battle with Dr...After all your advice on my last " blood results "...I went back to Dr, she listened, did more bloods, she said they were " normal "... Not fully understanding what " normal " means, I argued with her, that i felt it would not do any harm to put me on a dose of B12 injections. She said she wanted me to have more bloods done!!...( they have more of my blood than me!!) Then she would see about a trial of B12 treatment...I was ecstatic, I thought whoopie they are listening to me, after 10yrs and more of being ill...Then out of the blue, a few weeks later, i received a letter in the post, from the Hospital, Rhuematology Appointment...I thought, what on earth is this about?? I rang surgery to be told that it was a referral from Dr to be seen by Specialist. Well, even i know this Specialises in joints/bones!!...So i was not happy about this, thinking here we go, Dr not listening to me again!!....I saw Specialist 3 weeks ago, told her i really had no idea why, i had been sent to see her, and after once again describing my symptoms to her, she wasn't sure either!! She examined me, told me how flexible i was!! Then told me she suspected all my symptoms were Fibromyalgia related...to confirm this she wanted more " blood tests "...I told her, i do not have Fibromyalgia!!...She then said to help me relax muscles at night to take Amitriptyline...Unbelievably these are anti-depressants, i was pulling my hair out by then believe me...I asked her, to solve WHY I am constantly dripping wet? horrendous pins & needles, weight gain etc etc...Hence, surprise, surprise a letter came last week stating " all clear " no rheumatics etc...I also have received another letter to have Ultrasound on my Abdomin??....I saw another Dr today, that doesn't know me, had not received info from Hospital regarding Fibromyalgia results!! Plus said that they are checking my Liver with Ulrasound, because of slightly raised " red blood cells "... Which first showed up 2007...Honestly i really do not know what to do any more, i feel so poorly all the time...I am supplementing myself with a B12 spray and B12 vitamins, they seemed to give slight improvement, but i feel no benefits now, I possibly felt improvement for awhile because my body had a hit of what it needs!!...I have enclosed some more Blood Results below...Don't know if they mean anything to you lovely people...I have tried comparing them to some i put on here about 3-4 months ago,
