Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts on last nights post.
I was feeling pretty ill when I wrote it.
Slightly better today but the tiredness is creeping in big time at the moment - so I'm writing this to stay awake and focused - I have an order to deliver at 7pm - so please excuse the rambling!
I booked in to my GP today - the only catch is that he's away until the 29th December.
If I don't feel any better/feel worse before then I'll go with plan B.
Big A has noticed.
We talked about it today - he helped me pack my order :)
He saved me at least an hours work!
I told him what was going on and how I have been feeling etc - and about the hip thing being worse.
He doesn't want me to wait til the 29th.
So I'll think about it.
For a fresh opinion a different GP would be good - but then one of the worse experiences we had with Small Man was with a different GP.
This fill in guy who had never met us before in his life thought he was Gregory House I'm sure! (guess what mate you don't have the charisma to go with the attitude so just stop right there!)
He was quite rude about Small Mans weight (I felt so sad for my baby), and told me there was no reason he shouldn't be at school - in front of Big A who had trouble accepting the chronic fatigue thing (cos you can't see it).
Long story short Big A was furious with me and believed that Small Man was 'pulling the wool over my eyes' - which led to a massive argument I was so upset and angry I lost it.
Small Man and I were in tears, it was horrible.
These are the sorts of things that have put me right off going to the doctor.
So there is method to my madness.
Toni's GP sounds lovely, and I will definitely keep her in mind.
And I agree with what Nat said in my last posts comments about feeling rushed or 'like a loony' - that's exactly how I feel.
And I will definitely read up on the yeast factor Dell - I have though of that in the past as a reason for my fatigue.
This time the fatigue is different - before it was more a muscular fatigue, this time it's 'I must sleep NOW' like I don't have a choice.
Plus a myriad of other bizarre little things.
I just never know which ones to tell the doctor!
So anyway, all will be fine.
I had a nice day with Small Man today for his Distance Ed Presentation Day.
He has been sound asleep for the last hour and a half recovering (the 'day' only went from 10.30am til 2.30pm).

Please don't wait til the 29th. Our health is too important to wait, and as women we always leave things too long, we need to take care of ourselves first sometimes xx
Bugger the 29th, ring around and try to get in today or tomorrow at the latest!
I agree with these smart women, go soonest. And don't take any prisoners.
I know how you feel with no one believing you as no one believed me either. Everybody just thought I was stupid and lazy and then that I was making it all up.
It wasn't a good time.
Put yer foot down and take no prisoners (after being nice and compliant fails to work for you)
And your husband signed up for better or worst.
Welcome to the worst dear.
He'll want to know all your troubles and he'll want to help.
Men are men, he may not know what to do or think at first but give it a minute to sink in and a minute for him to find his reaction.
Tania ~ I know, and thank you
Jayne ~ I'm just a bit iffy on seeing someone else, as most of these issues I have discussed with my GP - he knows me pretty well by now and it's a lot to explain to someone else
Warriorwoman ~ I would, but I would need a double appointment (I have booked one with my regular GP), it would be really hard to get another one much earlier than the one I have on the 29th.
If I get any worse I will definitely go earlier though,
I can manage for now

I'm gonna have to move things around so I make sure I get here every day. I'm missing too much and I don't like that. Gina - whatever you do, you have to take care of you, first. If you aren't well and fit, you can't properly care for those who depend on you. But, more than that - you deserve to be well. You deserve to feel fit and strong. Take care of you, Gina. Take good care.
Lou ~ it's o.k. - hard to be everywhere eh!
I will.
