[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 1478956, member: 38433"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]I realise I've been absent on this site for a while and thought I'd update this as to where I am at the moment. My neurology appointment has come through but isn't until August!!! I've had various blood tests to check a variety of things including anaemia, low iron levels, thyroid function etc. They all came back as normal and satisfactory. I've also been checked to see if I'm going through the menopause - I'm not! I ended up so poorly a couple of months ago that I was signed off work. I felt absolutely awful - no energy, exhausted, periods of night sweats but mostly feeling cold. I am still not right. I still feel cold - my arms often hurt and ache, in particular my left one from around the elbow region. I have "cold spots" on various parts of my body and tingling in various areas - usually upper legs (to the front) and buttock area as well as shoulders and the back of my neck. I thought my GP would diagnose me with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue when I saw her last week. She has told me there are no more tests they can do but I have to wait until I've seen the neurologist which is weeks and weeks away. I'm so fed up and feel really down. I just want a diagnosis so I can try to treat and self manage somehow. I've also been told I need to lose weight - I had been doing fairly well as I'd lost some but due to feeling so rubbish I haven't had the energy or willpower just lately to eat really sensibly. My blood pressure isn't great and she has said she may need to prescribe another additional medication to lower it. I feel like giving up! :depressed:[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
