After a while they start to think that your problem is partially psycho-somatic and it's completely frustrating. ie. I'm tired a lot and spend a lot of time in bed because my constant agitation and/or irritability totally drains me and my Dr. is not 100% on-board with that I think. I swim 4-7 days/wk and get energy from that but the agitation returns for no reason and completely slows me down.
I think this one hates his job by the sound of it. It's rare to find any that are good and I sure hope the pdoc that I'm going to see is as good as she's been recommended to me to be. If that made sense lol. I'm in bed a lot of the time recently too, it's like they just think we make it all up and are lazy etc. I wanted to kick him in the face tbh.

took me about 4 to find a good one- well, i say good... my current one's a nightmare, but compared to the others, not that bad
Yeah it takes awhile My normal one is ok, no clue on meds but at least kind of listens to me. This one just basically said I need to see a psychologist and that meds aren't the answer... Some 'holistic' approach.
