It makes me so thankful for the ophthalmologist who referred me and the brilliant neurologist who diagnosed 5 conditions in one visit.
I didn’t have the more serious condition they thought I might have but I did have very low folate levels and therefore peripheral neuropathy that 6 or 7 GPs had missed (even though 3 of them commented my red blood cells were too big).
So permanent damage to my feet and hands. Without the eye issue that resulted in referrals it would have been so much worse.
