Hello,
I am currently in the process of being diagnosed with ME. My GP keeps fobbing me off with its stress at work but given my recent sudden deterioration to the point where I have multiple systemic issues and no psychological issues much to their disappointment they have taken lots of bloods and referred me to a neurologist and the ME/CFS clinic.
I am currently awaiting testing with the neurologist but do not have an appointment with the ME clinic until October. Though I doubt given their website that they will offer little other than GET / CBT. I don't think this appropriate given the research etc. and so I am looking for a ME consultant with a true understanding and belief in the physiological and infectious causes who is willing to work with me to get to a sound diagnosis, find out the cause and get a suitable treatment plan. I am a vet and studying for a specialism in medicine so I know when they are fobbing me off and I dont feel that up to now anyone is taking me seriously. Ideally someone in the north of England but I will find a way to get there if it is elsewhere in the UK.
I know I am asking for a recommendation for a doctor that probably doesn't exist but I can always try
