  • Hi G1,

    I'm sorry to read how you're feeling at the moment and the difficulties you've been having in working out what's going on.

    Unfortunately no-one here will be able to advise on what the issue could be - it's only your doctor or medical team who can do this. I'm sure it's frustrating and worrying but the only thing to really do is to wait for the results of any further tests and then take things from there.

    Make sure you dicsuss any concerns with your doctor.

    Wishing you all the best and I hope you're able to find out more soon,
