I just had the most insulting and frustrating visit with my family doctor ever.
Frankly, I don't know if I have a thyroid problem, or chronic fatigue, or any other kind of disorder. What I know is how horrid I feel all the time, and what this has done to my life.
Well, I printed the list with my symptoms
(same one I posted here a few days back), and took it to my family doctor, to see if there's anything we are missing. He did some test the first time I mentioned my symptoms, and ever since he's claimed I'm depressed and it's all in my head.
So, I printed my list of symptoms, took it to the doctor, and explained it to him today, in detail. He didn't even want to read the nice little document I put together.
His response? This is what he said to me:
Quote:
"Wow. You've really taken a lot of time on this! It seems a bit obsessive, wasting so much time on this stuff. Any other doctor would see this list you put together and think you are coo-coo... Not me, of course.
I'll send you to a psychiatrist to check you for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). You may need some antidepressants..."

F#ck this! My concern for a debilitating affliction that's been plaguing me for 12 years is "wasting time of this stuff". And because I provided a very detailed list with my symptoms, trying to trace this problem and see if I there's something we are missing... and I must be whacked in the head.
I don't want this man to be my family doctor anymore. Furthermore, I don't think I'm even going to see this psychiatrist, based on his biased demeanor to me. I feel so insulted right now.
