Today I had an appointment with a Doctor, (a reputable Neurologist), late this afternoon. He studied my tests and found something called GAD, it is both rare and hard to get information on.
I went to a Hospital in Brisbane, July/ August this year, where I underwent further testing and whatever it is that has afflicted me first surfaced then. But I guess because I had all these other tests my results simply just got 'swamped' by the QLD health system.
When I was told of the possible diagnosis I was so happy I cried, I have been failed so much and whatever that got hold of my health caused such a disruption to my life and to those around me, Finally we can combat this thing.
Finally some positivity.
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much because a part of me, every time I go somewhere medical, gets excited. But there is only so much bad news you can handle before you become a pessimist.
If what I have is treatable then this is the beginning.

At last, some concrete information. I hope that you and your neurologist can discover a way to work on this.
That's really good news, hopefully this is the starting point to working this thing out.

Hi Phil,
I'm sure you're all over it but some advice from friend (who's dad is a bit of big wig in the medical field and deals with these types of issues. And who's ex-partner is suffering similar issues at the moment). She is going to speak with her father re your case, i'll let you know if she comes back with anything.
She plus another have recommended you see a Chinese Doctor/Herbalist (they would need to be very reputable though) and even though i'm sure your doctors are all over it, if you are into doing your own research she has said to "investigate the suppression of the anti GAD antibodies - linked to Rasmussen's Encephilitus. Rasmussen's Encephilitus is an interesting one that can cause GAD and manifests all the symptoms that your friend seems to have".
