I hope you find a solution and someone offers you some helpful advice, although, I don’t think a veterinary health care professional will respond.
I’m sorry that you interpret suggestions to go to the vet as “rude”.
Surely you take your pets for annual veterinary exams and diagnostic tests/lab work as recommended. I would bring up these issues at the next visit or sooner if symptoms continue.
