medical testing

Unread post by dog_lover »

Hi there everyone,

I am in the UK and I've recently started seeing an MD who specialises in Functional Medicine. The main thing I'm hoping to get out of it is comprehensive testing to get a fuller picture of my health (testing available via NHS is decent but limited).

*Incidentally* this doctor has been super receptive to the whole PSSD thing - I sent her some research and she actually has read & absorbed it. Very open-minded, understanding and actually listens to / believes the patient. Can't remember the last time I've had this experience with a doctor! So if there's anyone else in the UK searching for a PSSD friendly doctor, I can recommend her.

We are doing a range of standard tests to look at things like my metabolic health etc.

My question for everyone here is - are there any specific tests out of the ordinary you think are worthwhile ? I don't have a great knowledge of biology like some here seem to, so I really have no clue what would be useful or interesting. I would be happy to request them from her and share the results to anyone interested, provided they're not exorbitantly expensive.

Thanks everyone and take care
