No, she doesn't want to do any further testing as she has said it's definitely DV, I really felt I wasn't listened to at all when explaining the symptoms. The initial blood tests covered the usual plus bowel inflammation markers which were all clear. I'll definitely get a second opinion, whilst some symptoms seem to match DV the overall picture just doesn't! Thank you for your reply 🙂

You're certainly in my prayers and if you have any other questions, I would be glad to help. A doctor that is not listening to their patient is a doctor that is not going to help you reach the actual root problem. She is chalking it all up to DVz and not listening to his/her patient. I have a very long almost ten year history of these same problems, and had to live in hospitals for 4 years, put in medically induced coma, been on a vent (life support) 4 times, coded on 2 different tables and they were able to revive me, finally got a transplant and organs removed and now able dealing with these symptoms even more plus vomiting 10-20 a day. Much more, but dont want to bore you. I'm just saying you have to be your own doctor and definitely advocate in the health care system to hopefully find answers.
