I'm not hypermobile, I haven't had many dislocations in my life and haven't broken any bones. I think my doctor did a "general" autoimmune blood test, i am not really sure to what extent but since autoimmune problems run on my mothers side of the family my mum is pushing my doctor for further testing, I am not sure if you are from Australia but most of our healthcare is bulk billed or only small out of pocket expenses. I had a look online said rheumatologist appointments in my state are about $120 out of pocket expense. This is something i can afford and will keep this in mind. I have considered seeing a psychologist but they are crazy expensive here and the wait time is ridiculous, possibly a future thing. My parents and I are very close and they are helping me every step of the way, My dad often works away so i don't see him often but he calls me regularly to stay informed and gives me support and my mum is there with me for every doctors appointment to help me advocate for the best care as sometimes I am not a very good communicator and can get a bit flustered especially with a lot of information. The next step my GP recommended is to get into a pain specialist as soon as I possibly can he said me marked as semi urgent moved my wait time from 8 months down to one month, so i am just waiting to get a call from the pain specialist and then the specialist will override what my doctor does and take it from there.
