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 :)

doctors - I'm told that one of the people who used to specialise in CFS has retired, which was depressing. I haven't had any luck at all in finding someone any good in dealing with fatigue problems, but I haven't looked very far. I had found a doctor who was competent at acute problems, and willing to try to deal with chronic problems, but wasn't getting anywhere, and the bugger has gone and moved to Vic Park, which means I'm going to have to get used to another one.

But if you find someone who is any good, please let me know.

Oh, and the hardest bit I found with my GP - getting the message through that when I say 'tired all the time' I don't mean the kind of tired you get when you haven't had enough sleep!
