I seem to have symptoms coming on rapidly and trying to get help from doctors - what do I need to say to them to make sure they take me seriously and get prompt diagnosis?

Hi Karen63,
It can be a good idea to write things down - for example any symptoms you've noticed, when you first noticed them and any changes since, how you've been feeling, and so on. This will help give the doctor some good information to work with.
We have some information on our website about talking to your doctor and making the most of your appointment, which will hopefully be helpful.
I hope that your appointment goes OK and that you're able to get some answers or reassurance.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
