There are clearly advantages in being odd. ;)

PS. It would help confused people like me if you could update your profile to reflect your current medication.

Thank you for the welcome. I suppose I am feeling a little frustrated by being told I wouldn't need to be seen until Nov because it had taken me from Jan of last year, until Nov to even get the blood test that led to my diagnosis, ( my symptoms were casebook stress according to two docs, and it was actually a locum who ordered the tests ) and now I know what is wrong, I feel I am being ' dismissed ' again.

May depend on your surgeries work load however insist on 6mth blood test then book nurse to discuss. I'm sure they'd appreciate the nudge.

I had my routine blood test that gave me my diagnosis on the 2nd January. I was certain it was because of Christmas, my birthday, New Years Eve and a 2 week holiday shortly before Christmas. I was wrong. Sadly, my next test 2 months later was the same!

That's too bad, Bluetit. On the up side, I'm happy you're on this forum!
