That sounds awful....very uncomfortable.

I don't like my pdoc either - he isn't very 'nice'. But he has never snapped at me or told me to control my symptoms like that.

In fact, one time I told him I felt like I was disappointing him because I wasn't doing very well, and he said something semi-reassuring about how it wasn't a contest and he wasn't comparing me with anyone else.

I agree with Sittingatwatersedge -- is there any way you can find a new pdoc? IMO, you shouldn't be treated that way....
best of luck to you....
