Sickness in australia

[sqbr]

Still sick, but not quite as miserably so. Have decided to try using Chronic Fatigue Syndrome resources to figure out what's making feel so terrible all the time, since while I don't know that I do have big-CF Chronic Fatigue, I do definitely have small-cf chronic fatigue, and the way you diagnose big-CF fatigue is by testing for all the things that cause small-cf fatigue, so either I get diagnosed with one of those or I tun out to have big-CF S after all.
I emailed the WA ME/CFS society to ask if they have any GPs they recommend who are less likely to tell me I just need to eat more vegetables *mutter*, I must remember the one I was seeing in Nedlands back in 2003ish before I ran out of money and patience since he at least was willing to send me in for tests and specialists rather than brushing me off.

Also, since someone asked, a big version of my "Australia" icon. And yes, I was too lazy to finish off the bits I knew would get cropped :)

there's a good doctor at the uni doctor's. She wants to send everyone for every test imaginable. But...you're not student or staff anymore, so that doesn't help you.

I think I can still go there, it just costs more (which is why I stopped) Certainly I could probably persuade them to let me, given that I have a pre-existing account from when I was a student and would be going for a specific reason. Which dr is it?

Dr. Julia Kermode. Srsly, she's massively into tests for basically any ailment. I don't see why she'd be different for Chronic Fatigue!

Cool, I'll keep her in mind, thanks.
