Looking for help with chronic fatigue in Perth

Any recommendations for doctors or specialists in Perth who will take you seriously and do a deep dive and try to find out the cause of chronic fatigue?

Female in 30's, had chronic fatigue for about 4 years now and of course I've seen numerous GP's, nutritionists, psychiatrists, physios, endocrinologists etc.

Had so many blood tests and no one can find anything. Also done other various things such as sleep study, endo and colonoscopy, iron infusion (FYI iron is in range was just on the lower end and GP probably sick of me complaining)

Struggle to work more than 2 days per week. I really want to work and don't want to up just on a disability pension when I feel I don't need to be because I feel there's something wrong - I wasn't like this before!!!

Wanted to have kids by now but I can't fathom having kids while I'm so exhausted already and barely getting through the day.

Thanks for any help

2 weeks since passing a 6mm 57-day stone - how long until the pain goes away?

Husband passed a 6mm stone after 57 days of having it.

He's still in pain, it worsens just after driving for 5-10 mins.

Saw the doctor and he's had bloods and urine tests done, all normal. (FYI got the stone tested and it's calcium oxalate ((Whewellite)). We're in Australia if that's relevant.

He hasn't been able to work for over 2 months now.

Is there anything he can do or just have to wait it out? We're assuming his ureters are inflamed and we just have to wait for it to go down..?

What's more unsafe in workplace: small amount of heavy boxes or large amount of light boxes?

Multiple people at work (WA, Australia) suffering with injuries (shoulder/elbow/wrist/hip) from lifting boxes, up to 15kg weight.

I have asked why don't we make the boxes half the weight (are packed with 40 of a certain item so could just put 20 of said item in the box instead)

However I've been told no, because then we will have twice as many boxes and people will hurt their backs from twisting as there will be "too many boxes"

Safety professionals, what do you think?
