And the nice things yore all saying just warms my heart! It's lovely to know there's others in a similar situation.

UPDATE FROM THE GP:
It could be one of the unexplainable neurological thing, they said that's not saying it is nothing, but there is so many things they don't know about already. Apparently I could still be diagnosed with something.
In the mean time, whilst I wait for my next neurological appointment, ive been reffered to a psychologist. Apparently they will talk and help me to manage the symptoms I have to live day to day.
I would check into this--- low B12 levels. Doctors still use outdated lab ranges too, after testing, which go down to 200pg/ml. Some people get neurological symptoms when that low. So get tested and see where you are...discontinue vitamins 3-7 days before the test. You should be at 400pg/ml minimum and ideally much higher.

This is a video explaining what can happen if you are low and it is not discovered:

And this is our B12 thread:

Best to check this and rule it out during your diagnostic process.
