Abby, I think you should contact this doctor again, or try a different one. I've had this problem before, too. Okay, I still do. I have trouble with words, expressing my feelings, and just plain admitting things to my doc. What I do when this happens, is to write him a letter. You mentioned that you could have told her things in writing, so why not do that? I've found that doctors don't ask enough questions. It's like we have to feel "stupid" and volunteer the information. (Or that's how I feel.) Once they get enough of the info tho, they have a better understanding of the problem. You can take the letter with you to an appointment, mail it, or even fax it. Some doctors even offer an email address to patients who do better writing and need the extra support. When I write, I will hand deliver it to the office or send by fax. I feel that way he'll know what is going on and it will help start our discussion at the next session.
