Hello!
So after my stressed out rant the other day I finally got a doctor to take me seriously!! Hooray! She didn't know much about TM AU but advised me to email the practice with the info I showed her during my appointment. My printer failed so I went armed with my IPad and downloaded the MEBO info pack. Getting a second opinion and a compassionate doctor paid off. I was determined and didn't take no as an answer but I know that not all doctors will listen believe me I've seen two others doctors at the same practice. I'm going to leave it a few weeks and see if and when I can get a blood test and get the ball rolling with a TMAU test. It's been hard getting to this point but at least I'm taking some action steps to finally get a diagnosis.
I don't need happy pills but am going to start counselling to cope with my anxiety. There's days when I want to avoid people and not leave the house. I hate the sadness and sheer panic that I feel at my worst. My little one gives me a reason to keep motivated and I want to be the best I can for him. Why should I hide? I've had so much support and friendly advice along the way. I know things will get better so I have hope again.
I'm off work at the moment so I took the MEBO information to occupational health on the same day as the docs appointment! The best way I can battle my demons is by highlighting this condition to as many people as I can. I'm fed up of being angry I just want to move on from nasty comments and not dwell. A few years ago I was bullied very badly at work so I still have hang ups from that time. In a weird way that experience led me to this website/forum and I've met a lot of wonderful people as a result.
Anyone trying to get tested keep pushing and don't give up! Be kind to your self.
Stay Strong
