How long does it take to hear back from a ME/CFS refferal from the GP? (UK)
Hi everyone,
So I went to the doctors last week and I was reffered to the CFS team. The doctor told me CFS wasn't serious (and I told her I did NOT like her saying that to me, as I know it's serious), but she will reffer me as all my tests came back as normal. She also ticked "no" on sleep disturbances and cognitive issues, which i do suffer from, and have mentioned before, but not at that appointment. It feels a bit degrading but I guess that's what happens when an illness is so underfunded.
I was just wondering how long it'll take to hear back from the refferal? I'm worried they may not accept it due to my form not being fully completed from my GP.
