No, I am not seeing an endocrinologist. Just my GP. I actually live in Ireland and getting bloods done takes two weeks at least even before Covid. As for seeing a specialist it could take anything from one year to four years maybe, if they remember you are on the waiting list. This is the reason...

To give a more precise question, why I am so exhausted, my leg muscles ache, I have bad ‘brain fog’, try and do some gardening, I can do very little, if I do some digging I have to stop. I go shopping in Lidl, exhausted. I have cut out a lot of sugar. My blood pressure is fine 123 over 70...

I wish Peter_s was still around! Almost the same problems as myself. Metformin was a problem for him. Just taken my first tablet, we shall see. Have a look at his posts from 2015, very interesting. I hope he is still with us. Doctors do seem unable to look a the whole person, we are dealing with...

I suffer from being a coeliac confirmed by biopsy, compound heterozygous haemochromatosis, diabetes 2 and psoriasis on one side of my head and in my ears. Knew I was a coeliac in 2000 and then being prediabetic. Now I am diabetic with the HbA1c test being 7.5. Ferritin 130. Peter had a lot of...
