Hi B, I am horrified by the way your doctor has treated you ~ it seems that whenever they can't explain someone's condition, they resort to labelling them as crazy. Better than having to admit they don't know everything! Your condition sounds very debilitating and something is obviously causing it. What an awful position you're in. Have you considered making a formal complaint against your GP? I think you would certainly have grounds for complaining and maybe that could lead to someone taking notice and offering you the help you need. I know that ICAS are very good at supporting people through the complaints process and drafting letters, etc ~ I imagine you know who they are, if you work for the NHS yourself. Just a thought anyway. I think you've been treated terribly. Good luck! Riv
