Last April my GP, after years of going back and fourth said she was 99% certain I had Fibro. She said she would refer me to the hospital to see a Rheumatologist to get a certain diagnosis.
Well fast forward nearly a year and numerous phone calls and visits to my GP, this week a new GP ( the original one has now left, great!) said that she has cancelled the referral and that everything is in my head and down to my depression!!
I feel so upset and frustrated. I have spent years feeling so ill and in so much pain, and last year when someone actually said, yes, I do believe you, I think you may have such and such was such a relief. Now I feel that I am back at square one. I have no idea what to do now.
Can I insist on being referred? Can I self refer? I just need some advice really, this has really knocked me
