Hi Doretta

I am sorry to hear that you are having these unpleasant signs and symptoms.

With regard to your doctor is this a specialist who you are seeing or your GP?

It sounds as though you are hypo. Do you know what your vitamin D level and phophate levels are?

It is a good idea to get a full blood profile done especially to check for anaemia and any vitamin B deficiencies.

Have Rheumatoid factors/inflammmatory markers been checked Doretta?

Are you in the UK?

Kind regards

Jean

Hi doretta, how did you get on at the doctor's?

Hi Doretta

I too would be interested as to how you got on at the drs. Please PM if you prefer.

I wondered if you are in the UK as there seems to be major problems here in getting the correct diagnosis and obviously tests and treatment.
