Doctors don't always call back at the allocated times you just have to wait it out unfortunately 💛 I've had this happen to me. You could use this time to write out your observations surrounding the issue and all the tests youve had done. I find I need to engage my doctor quite a bit so I'm working in a closer consultation. I really drill my GP I don't think they like it much but you have to have the right decisions based on the right info IMO @TAB

Had a silly thought that if you went without pants people might be even more obliging just to get rid of you! lol
But seriously, great news about script. And this sickness cert sounds promising?
