since November 2016 I have had dizziness associated with muscle pain such as back aches, leg aches, aches in arms where my elbow is, extreme fatigue can only do so much before I have to stop and sleep, anxiety and depression. Since then I have had a few appointments (ENT, MRI) and blood tests that have given me absolutely nothing, there were a few things that came up in my blood test but the doctors didn't even bother looking further into it. I am due a 24 hour ECG which i know will be normal and im fed up of being thrown around. They offered therapy which I do over the phone however they are basing my symptoms on depression and want me to do things I have expressed I cannot do due to the symptoms i face. They see it as depression causing the symptoms but its the other way around im not a fool. I have also lost my ESA entitlement because they say im fit for work when I am clearly not. I feel like no one actually believes me when I say i need help and cant live like this. What should I do, who should I call because I am at a dead end here I need to get diagnosed and I need to build my life back up

    You can always try testing for Lyme. Looking for borreliosis spirochaetes and coinfections associated. Might contact ILADS if you decide to investigate further
