"Totally wrong diagnosis ignoring most of my..."

About: St Peter's Hospital / Accident and emergency

I was diagnosed with:"allergy in my right eye."

Pain and tingling burning both in eye and scalp, feeling unwell ignored, suggestions of autoimmune disorder ignored, challenged this, doctor said :"it's caused by chemicals in the environment," challenged WHY only in 1 eye, allergy would be in both, never suffered allergy before , batted away all comments/ attempts to discuss symptoms.Had to ask to repeat twice as accent was so strong.Came out feeling a victim of patronising sexism, treated as if my comments were of no consequence.

Went to GP same day who agreed with me that it could be occular herpes zoster or temporal arteriosclerosis AI disorder, both with serious consequences.Treated Frimley , diagnosed shingles via blood test, aciclovir given.
