This happened me countless times. You go for help maybe having a hunch that something is not right. Describe symptoms and so on, only to be lightly dismissed. I honestly can't understand why isn't the rule for doctors when you visit them to at least ask: "When was your last blood test?" and then act accordingly either re-testing or analyzing previous tests. I'm not saying that all doctors proceed this way, but sometimes if you actually do not politely ask them to further analyse you, they won't. One of my siblings is celiac and it literally took many years to actually discover that if it wasn't for my mum endlessly trying to understand why at the time he was extremely tired spending way too many hours a day sleeping. All the technology that is available today that testing can discard options or at least follow clues on pursuing something else.
