I'm currently really struggling with constant flares with my EDS, chronic pain, unable to sleep, muscle spams, dislocations and my herniated discs in my neck seem to play up while in a flare and also suspected MCAS and crohn's... really can't win! 😅 I've been given naproxen and omeprazole that do absolutely nothing for me, I'm allergic to amitriptyline. The only thing that's worked for me is Co-codamal but my last GP told me to take with the amitriptyline (I was on cocodamal beforehand) and took me off the both of them when I said about my allergic reaction so now I'm stuck with nothing and none of the doctors in my GP seem to have a clue as I'm sure a lot of you are the same as me I might as well be popping sweeties with paracetamol and ibuprofen. Has anyones GP prescribed them something that actually works? t.i.a

So a little background I've been trying to get diagnosed for years... my old doctor completely denied me saying "you don't have this" without even listening to me. I suffer with allergies that I didn't until my late teens. Hives, flushing all of a sudden hay-fever, dizziness, spaced out spells, wheezing, allergies to cosmetic products, flares if I do too much cleaning in one day. I've narrowed down a few things (Aloe Vera, Retinol and some medication I've tried). I've always had gastric issues (diarrhea, bowel spasms, blood). Ive also been into my old surgery for an emergency saline mask as I was really struggling to breath. I also have EDS. My current GP believes I have it with my symptoms and has tried to get me referrals to an allergy expert, immunity and rheumatology but all have been denied! I'm badly suffering atm and asked if she could prescribe be better antihistamines (currently use shop bought). She won't give me anything as she doesn't know what to give me! So I'm stuck with nothing. Has anyone been able to get a diagnosis and medication that helped on the NHS? I'm in Scotland btw.
