Thanks Melissa yes ou are right I do hope that an extreme case would have been diagnosed earlier Saffron, yes gp s wasted so many days taken off work to get her checked and they just say it s viral Unbelievable amount of time wasted And that not cheap, they could avevreferred us earlier even privately! Anyway we went away and got an opinion frm abroad and that helped, even he gp became more responsive to our concerns And referred us more easily I agree with you, I am old that in France even if the infection is initially viral it must be checked and an anti viral and anti biotic is prescribed cos it can be over infected if I am translating ths right Anyway, I would love to see some progress and get tests done, can't afford any more time off, Or I ll be looking for a new job :(
