I've been trying to understand the reason I'm so tired on most of the days, for quite some time. Got some tests done, test results were mildly abnormal. Convinced the GP that the results can't be discarded with "ah that's because you had a cold recently" because I haven't had a cold recently. GP got me more tests, and finally one of them - indicating a group of diseases closely matching my symptoms - returned very abnormal.
Now the fun part! The NHS guidelines say that if my test results are THAT high, I should be getting an urgent appointment with a specialist. But I'm told that I might be seen in weeks if not months. NHS be NHS, I guess.
I understand that they got to prioritise, and that my case has been going on for months already, and I don't seem to be in any immediate danger, and I can deal with a few more months of unnecessary misery (especially because I've adjusted to it) but... Really? 🫠

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt I've felt increasingly tired and out of breath for like a decade+. Finally got my dr to run tests. Found something terrible! Unrelated to being tired though, oh well. Anyway, hope it works out for you.
