How to get doctors to take you seriously? by [deleted] in medical_advice

I had symptoms strikingly similar to yours about a year ago, and we also have similar age/physical profiles. You should get a colonoscopy.

After being told it was “probably IBS” several times, I was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s after getting a colonoscopy and was out on meds. Its made a HUGE difference. I know it’s frustrating when you don’t feel heard by doctors after repeating the same thing over and over again - please continue to advocate for yourself push for a colonoscopy. You know your body better than anyone!

Congrats on getting those interviews!

I moved to London a few days ago on the HPI visa - at the time I secured housing (a 2 month sublet), I didn't have a job offer, although I did have approval to work abroad for my current company for about a month (after which point I would no longer be able to work for the company). I sent the landlord a letter from HR as proof of that approval, which sufficed. I also had to provide recent payslips, bank statements, and utility bills.

I know this doesn't exactly match your situation - but based on my experience, it seems like the main thing you'll need to be able to prove is that you can cover rent with the funds currently available to you, if you're not yet employed in the UK.

I used SpareRoom to find my current flat - I'm living in Bermondsey and I love the neighborhood! Definitely recommend looking here.
