[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 655739, member: 88961"] Where do you live Gaz? Are you "near" to a larger hospital? I'll spare you the boring details, but when I was diagnosed, I was told additional tests were not available for almost a month, which absolutely didn't work for me. Cutting a long story short, I was able to find out my nearest bigger hospital has a walk in blood clinic, 5 days a week. There they take all the bloods for the Outpatient clinics at the hospital, and they accept GP forms too. It's a not very well kept secret, but it means, provided I am willing to drive the 30 mile round trip, I can have my bloods done, on a day that suits me, and they start at 08:00, which helps for fasting tests. For me, it's a winner. [/QUOTE]
