So annoyed with GP

Went today for desperate appointment.

I had sent all my symptoms in a message beforehand. Which he said he received.

He asked me to tell home what was going on so I did.

2018 – 2025

Severe heat-induced hives (chronic urticaria).

Resistant to antihistamines and famotidine.

Planned for omalizumab injections, but hives eventually abrubtly stopped mid-2025.

2021

Developed wheezing and breathing issues.

Prescribed inhaler.

Weekly chest tightness since.

2024 (massage episode)

Developed sore, hypersensitive back pain during massage.

Skin felt painful to touch (new for me, despite enjoying massage previously).

Nov 2024, Jan 2025, Mar 2025, Sept 2025

Flu-like flare ups lasting 1-2 weeks each.

Symptoms: shivers, sweating, body aches, fatigue, congestion.

Dec 2024 to present

Ongoing major nasal congestion and thick yellow mucus after certain foods/alcohol. Long lasting.

2025 also

Messy / loose stools triggered by certain foods. Stomach pains Chest pain

Current Symptom Summary

Skin: Past severe hives; ongoing skin/nerve hypersensitivity.

Respiratory: Wheezing, chest tightness, nasal congestion, difficulty intake breath and throat constriction after foods/alcohol. Difficulty swallowing.

Digestive: Loose stools after certain foods.

Systemic: Repeated “flu-like” episodes with fever/shivers, lasting 4 days to 2 weeks. Feeling light headed. History of fainting. Bumps on skin.

Clear links with food, alcohol, heat, cold, and stress as triggers.

He says maybe referral to Ear, Nose + Throat

I said No. I'm not wanting to go on a long waiting list for a single area issue. This is multi systems involved. I need a referral to immunology/allergy. He said he would. I asked him to please include all of my symptoms that I sent him. He said he would.

I get home, check the NHS app and read his notes - he's written four symptoms. 🤯
