Hi everyone - I hope you are all doing ok today

I have another question for you all - I'm sorry for my continual curiosity! As I said on my previous post (thank you for all of your replies, I was amazed by some of your stories!) I have found all of your stories of your struggles for diagnosis, treatment and the scrutuny you have all faced with various Doctors and agencies pretty heartbreaking....and unfortunately have had similar experiences myself! I have to say your persistence through your trials has inspired and encouraged me to seek a second opinion despite wanting to just curl up and hope this all just went away! I admire the unfaltering strength of each of you and thank you, because without you I may have given up....again!

I may still not get a diagnosis this time but It has left me wondering if any of you have considered taking action for misdiagnosis or the poor treatment you have received? I don't know what options there are in these cases and whether a formal complaint can be made for a disease so hard to diagnose? I know there will be cases where you requested a test the Dr refused and when another Dr performed it you were ultimately diagnosed so is that considered negligence....or proof Doctors are only human? Do you feel there is a duty to prevent another patient from having the same problem or do you think making mistakes are a part of life....even for a Doctor?

Thanks again for your thoughts and input
