well i had my x-ray of my back, no results yet, also had my endoscopy follow up which i had 2 years ago by the way! anyway it went well, he asked what my symptoms were, i told him, he asked if i had seen an allergy specialist, i said no as gp said i didnt meet the criteria even though ive been in tears trying to convince her, you should of since his and the nurses face, anyway im now being referred to an immunologist ❤️ i explained i now how so many allergies, i can barely eat, he as if i had seen a dietician, said yes she was lovely but didnt understand my problems, so im referred to a GI dietician aswell, also got to take H2 blockers for a while, not ppi as cant tolerate them, i was so emotional after that appointment, actually being listened too. oh and ive also had an allergic reaction to vitamin D3 a bad one grrrrrr xx

    So glad you're finally getting to see the docs you need!

    I've also finally gotten the referrals I've needed. I definitely have thyroid eye disease and now also seeing an endocrinologist. Shes not come up with any concrete diagnosis but my thyroid is very low, but still considered normal range.. I'm most definitely post meno, but these stupid symptoms won't go away. I've been taking D3 for yrs now, 5000IU a day. But she discovered my B12 is very low and I have almost no folic acid.. she put my on a Super B complex that makes me feel horrendous! But my cardiologist agrees that with those levels being off it can cause my heart issues (mitral valve prolapse, sinus tachycardia and bradycardia) to be more symptomatic. My palpations have become almost unbearable. So as of Friday and my stress test, my beta blockers have been increased and I'm supposed to take the Super B no matter what 🤢. I'm 54 and feel as if I'm 94. Getting old is not for the faint of heart I've learned.

    Can't wait to hear what your specialists find, praying its an easy fix for you!
