    Hi Sam, sorry to read your story and to hear of your struggle. If you have had blood tests showing inflammation and your GP hasn't given you a diagnosis, how have you left it with them?

    Have you been prescribed anything? Do you have next steps?

    I would think that if your bloods are showing inflammation you should be referred on, to whom would depend on other symptoms you present with and presumably discussed with your GP?
