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)))

While I agree with you on a certain level and think your advice is very good, that still doesn't change the fact that what they did in the past was, I'm pretty certain, not in my best interest. While this wasn't meant to be a blame session towards doctors, I still am holding my ground that it is not my fault either. I process information quickly, and I don't usually feel like kicking myself when I leave the doctor, I feel like kicking the doctor lmao So, part of this is more about me needing to deal with this resentment constructively, rather than having trouble expressing myself. I think I express myself just fine to them. Why haven't they ever listened?
