Hi @PurpleRaven70, welcome to the community!  Sorry to hear your symptoms are worsening. GPs can be a real mixed bag sometimes. I've seen some gems, but I've also seen some that I walk away from questioning how they ever qualified to work with people!

Is it just the waiting times for testing that you're having trouble with, or is it your doctor too?

Hopefully some of our members will be along to say welcome and add their experiences. I'll pop your post over to our physical and neurological impairments section where more members can find it. I hope you'll find the community a friendly place to find support and advice
