At last I am ill. and I am jubilant!
That might sound very silly to some of you, but others will understand from this forum. I have been ill for over 54 years, the last I was told was ME.... so I was treated for that, before that it was a weal thyroid perhaps, or IBS, or hormones or depression or!!!!!! But at last a new consultant has been appointed at the hospital & I saw him, yes I admit I was not impressed, usual run through over the test I had had, the results all being negative, how was I - I could have screamed as it was a waste of time, and I said I felt that if I could have had a computer print out like when they service your car done he would see that there was a problem, that had eluded everyone so far, like an annoying rattle - it is there but no one can quite put their finger on it, and give him his due he listend, but my alloted time was up, so I left.I had a phone call about three hours later asking me to attend for a different blood test, one I had not had done before he would not tell me what he was testing for, and neither would the phlebotomist. Ten days later I had to go for the results.
It has taken 54 years, many consultants, Dr's, iridologists, dieticians, acupuncturists, kinesiologists and many hundreds of pounds to be given the diagnosis that I have celiac disease. The bad news I am told is that I can not eat smarties!

Well done! At last you've found it!
I know the feeling of relief I had when at last they found what my problems were - turns out I was born with two deformed kidneys and it took 34 years to sus that out. It was the turning point in my life - I kid you not - and I hope you now begin to turn the corner.
Many blessings
Glad to hear you got a diagnosis x
