United Kingdom - Suffolk and North East Essex ME/CFS services

Again it bears repeating: I asked to be referred for MECFS assesment when mild. My GP refused and instead gaslit me that my symptoms since the tonsillectomy I had had for chronic tonsillitis were psychosomatic, which led to me worsening my condition drastically and needing near constant care.

Ever since then I have been treated like the proverbial leper by every medical service I have encountered. The medical system in this county has destroyed my life and washed its hands of me and I am apoplectic with rage.

This is what I need and I don't understand why it's being treated like a hidden menu item at McDonald's! I have severe ME. He is an ME specialist attached to my local MECFS service. Why haven't I been offered an appointment with him?

I'm wondering, and this is not a suggestion for you to do and it's more general, could a GP help with this sort of thing? (Yeah, I gather yours probably wouldn't.)

So, if a patient has been discharged from a service, could the GP write back requesting more, in this case an appointment with a clinician? Why is that on ill, potentially disabled patients who don't have necessary medical knowledge to argue the request? I see it's definitely cheaper...
