Little question

Hi,
If you have a appointment with the Doctor, it might be wise to fast 12 hours prior to the time as a blood sample might be taken. Hopefully someone might come along and advise accordingly.
Do not worry as stress does not help.
Best of luck
 
Hi and welcome, I don't think it is so much that doctors don't care and brush it under the carpet I think it is the amount of time that they have allocated for each patient (3 minutes) is just long enough to say what is wrong. When you ring to make an appointment specify that you want/need a double appointment or even treble.
 
I couldnt get on at all today! I'll try and again in the morning. Really 3 minutes is all we get, wow i didnt know that, makes sense then! Thank you

3 minutes? lol i think its 10, it takes them at least 5 minutes to upset me with their ignorance so must be more than 3 minutes
 
It sounds identical to my symptoms, so yes, make the appointment, keep carbs and sugar out of your diet for a few days until you get meds if it is. I was told the blurred vision is from sugar in your tears. I felt better within days of getting the meds. I am now following a strict diet of low, low, low carbs and no sugar. Only certain foods, tough but its working. Hope we're all wrong about your diagnosis.
