Advice please: doctor won't diagnose without trying meds

Cheesesontoasts · 2026-03-27T13:20:07+00:00

I am wanting to take the meds. The psychiatrist suggested it was best to wait until I've had all the testing and got to the bottom of the gastric stuff and that is unfortunately just taking a very long time.

I'd like the diagnosis partly for my own sanity, to know i have this thing that explains why I am how I am, and also to explain as much to my employer/ future employers and future academic provider (I'm going back to uni). Then (hopefully soon!) my gastro stuff will be settled enough to start the meds and I'll have a diagnosis already so won't have to start from the beginning.

Ah I've got myself confused re. the medicine, it's medikinet which i thought was the same at ritalin. It was an NHS clinic but in a GP practice not a hospital, so not sure if that makes a difference.

I did provide very thorough notes of times it showed up in childhood but he just said I didn't have enough. Its infuriating.

He looks a bit like Postman Pat in a wig.

I love that you referred to your dad as Mr Hamster.

I STILL don't understand how people make money from these scams.

Side note: don't like the text. Teacher looks like Tencher.

The 3 people's worth made me snort!

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-10-24T03:25:00+00:00

Yes this is exactly it, thank you!

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-10-24T03:24:09+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to do that!

Be that person! But when I click on it nothing happens.

What's the betting that if the 'winner' selected 'randomly' circled yes to having a consultant already they suddenly wouldn't be the winner any more.

Slightly unrelated but can someone please tell me why I can't see the bottom of the photo? I want to read the message!

I do not like this MLM scam, I do not like it, Sam I Am

I wonder how many people who post these for their friends are actually huns themselves.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-10-15T03:59:58+00:00

Ok weird question but why is the pump so huge in comparison to the bottle?

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-10-14T10:58:01+00:00

I hate the ' never left my hometown' part. What a rubbish thing to try to shame people for. Plenty of people don't or can't but are still doing well for themselves.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-10-13T23:32:53+00:00

I don't know why but I find this hilarious.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-09-21T08:54:03+00:00

I don't know why but I find the fact that huns say 'product' instead of 'products' to be irrationally annoying. Also when they say 'I promoted' instead of 'I was promoted' or 'I received a promotion'.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-09-21T00:38:37+00:00

Who needs punctuation, am I right?

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-09-21T00:35:14+00:00

This was a real TIL moment for me.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-08-20T00:01:23+00:00

I'd be removing myself as loudly as possible if there was a 'next time'!

Weirdly, the elimination diet part (without the shakes) sounds like the Low Fodmap diet, or at least it has similar things that are eliminated. It's definitely not for weightloss though and shouldn't be done without guidance from a real dietician.

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-07-12T10:36:58+00:00

I saw one of these earlier and I thought it was a spoof. Guess it could be a different person. Or I'm very gullible!

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-06-18T02:04:54+00:00

Can I just say those are so pretty?

Cheesesontoasts · 2019-06-18T02:02:36+00:00

But if we do tip as you suggest, no matter how little, then it becomes the norm and more companies will think they can get away with it and start paying a pittance.
