  • Welcome to the forum Yasmin although I'm sorry to read what you're going through. It sounds very tough.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and advice soon but if you don't feel like your GP isn't listening to you then you could try getting a second opinion from a different doctor.

    Our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well.

    Don't give up Yaz.

    All the best,
