Hello from Northern Ireland

[Guest guest]

Hello.

I've been a member of this group for some time, however have never really given

it a good look. I suppose the volume of posts and information have put me off.

My concentration is minimal at best :-) so trying to read through it all seems a

bit daunting.

I have decided this will be the year I am more proactive towards my health. I

feel I am going downhill faster as I get older and I do not want to feel like

such an invalid so early in life. I am going to be 43 in two weeks time and

can't imagine spending the next 20 or so years feeling like I do now or worse.

I would like to know if anyone here has a good experience to report about docs

in Northern Ire. I would like to say for routine appointments my doc is

fine...however just does not listen or believe in symptoms out of normal range

test results. Or adrenal fatigue or even Fibro/CFS/ etc..

So I am a bit stuck there. I am pretty sure I have a level of adrenal fatigue

which I am keen to get sorted.

I have started supplements which I have seen recommended on several sites

relating to AF...

I take

450mg magnesium

2-3gms Vit C

B-complex

Multi-vit

Omega-3

My last Iron levels were according to my doc normal so haven't been taking any

supplements for that .

If I could find a doc who would at least test me for whatever it is I need

tested for...mine looks at me like I'm one of those internet medical nuts who

hasn't a clue what she is talking about...and on more than one occasion

suggested anti-depressants and counselling to help me with my " problems " . Even

the the only problems I have is a doctor who won't listen and help.

Any advice or a list of docs in Northern Ire..or maybe even the South of Ire..I

have no problems travelling...England and Scotland are a bit to far..:-)

Thanks.
