Thre are those that say it's "taboo" but you know what? So what, don't doctors realize we don't care if it's taboo? it's not about saving face here it's about getting the right help.

My suggestion is if it's at all possible get another doctor. ONe that has a friggin backbone to actually diagnose you.
This. I know I had at least two pdocs suspect BPD and said nothing. I hate to think of the time wasted and treatments that I did which didn't work.

There is closure in knowing that this is what I have and now we can deal with it.
