Hello all. Went to surgery and saw a doctor who said I needed to go to A & E. She also gave me a blood test form to book at another hospital. A very nice doctor at the A &E gave me the once over to check my circulation, back, blood pressure and then said that it was important to get the blood test. He thought the doctor should have done all that and I hadn’t needed A&E. He then went into the importance of why the blood test was needed as multiple causes for it including diabetes, thyroid trouble, lack of some vitamins and testing for something else in the blood which I can’t recall etc. So have booked the earliest appointment which is on the 25th.. I am due to have a medical on the 29th June as I have a hernia appointment booked at Benenden on the 10th August. So not sure whether they will still do it. Have to see. fflur I do hope you improve but perhaps you should visit your doctor to get a blood test as you want to ensure you have had all the appropriate investigations. Thank you all for replying.
