I have had similar experiences with some doctors that feel a million miles away & judgmental. Things that I'm hypersensitive about are always blamed (my memory and judgment) by myself for poor doctor visits.

While our symptoms aren't a match, the effect is the same, imo. We're both hypersensitive, making our minds go a million miles/minute and unable to say what we've wanted to say. We then leave, kicking ourselves for being ___ and our doctors for being insensitive jerks.

When I do go into appointments prepared, with Q's and information, things do better. I am upfront with my doctors and let them know that it's takes me a little bit longer to process information...that seems to help them slow down & come off more patiently. That helps me relax a lot! Once I relax, I can process information more easily (more quickly) which gives me time to ask my Q's.

I hope that this helps you too! (((hugs)))
