Your post is funny because its so true........same with my arthritis.....exercise, do this, do that..if you could take that...I take herbs and I'm better!!! Blah, blah blah..You could walk if you tried harder..!!!!!......OMG TROUBLE IS THEY REALLY BELIEVE THIS!
and they give you things that might work in different circumstances but don't work as in your case, where you are...and then they think they have done their job and helped you and instead you are even more troubled......half an answer is not good enough..... I truly understand! Been there and in fact, still there!!!
We have to be our own advocate and some of the things they suggest, as in your post, are hysterical. Let's write a book. We could get it published!!!

Hang in there...we are survivors despite them!!!
