@change25 I’m sure that you are worried. That’s why I put this list on here that will give you an idea of questions. Question Prompt List:
https://autoimmune.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Question-Prompt-List-Autoimmune-Association-English. You certainly won’t need all the questions! Maybe you could formulate one from each heading. Also, come up with a very concise timeline of what has happened. And how long you’ve been looking for help! (Don’t talk bad about any doctor or hospital!). And maybe take your dad with you, tell him he should take notes and ask questions he feels are pertinent. In reality, his presence will help both you and the doctor stay on topic. And the doctor will be more likely to take you seriously.
What else can you do so the doctor will listen and take you seriously?

Fantastic advice as always Becky. I've documented my symptoms and managed to obtain all my blood test results from the past few years. I have some useful correspondence from previous consultations that I'm going to take also. Lastly, I've compiled photos over the last few years. I think I have enough evidence that shows something isn't right.
