Just back from the GP again, she won't diagnose me with ME using the Oxford Criteria because there was no definite onset that I can identify.  I am left with this horrible condition but no diagnosis, which I need to get financial help with care through social work.  I also need a diagnosis as this is what I have and it's important to me that this is officially acknowledged.  I don't know what to do now.  Any advice on how to get a diagnosis?  I am planning to see another GP.  I am in Scotland and there are no ME specialists here.

I don't think I have any fight left in me, I wish I could put an end to this misery.
