Hi. I'm new to this site and have just seen your post. Please, please go and see your GP and INSIST on seeing a specialist. My hubby was diagnosed a couple of years ago at the age of 51. It was a battle with the doctor, but he can't refuse to refer you. It took 18 months to get the diagnosis, and it has probably helped me more than him! Good luck. Bye-the-way, we went to Sheffield for the diagnosis - not too far for you. Originally we were told we'd have to go to London!
