I would have thought doctors would be thankful that their patients take an interest in their own health.
But instead i get the feeling that because you dont fit the text book case you must be making it up !!!
Maybe they think because we read things on the internet and learn out our illnesses that we come up with symptoms to fit the illness. Only problem there is we have the symptoms first, which leads us to searching for an answer !
I'm going to be asking my GP if i can have my Vitamin B12 folate and ferritin levels checked. I wont be surprised if she says no.
Working together with your doctor is how it should be, but i dont think they teach that in medical school. Some doctors do have some common sense though and will work with you. You just have to search for a needle in a hay stack to find one .
