I've been suffering from allergies and rhinitis for months now and saw the doctor three times about the same issue. First time they dismissed me saying that pain relief pills would be enough, second time they found unreasonable my request to find out what I am allergic to saying I was "a very curious girl", third time they prescribed me a general blood test. I phoned to ask about test results, and was told that if they are clear the doctor won't see me.
Except, I feel worse and worse, I choke at night and I haven't been referred to a specialist yet. I understand NHS is on spending review mood, but then I wonder what doctors are there for if they refuse to find out what's wrong with you. I am very frustrated and feel I wasted four months running in circles. I had my first appointment in March, and we're now in September.
