As someone who suffers with other chronic illnesses, this has largely been a common experience for me, especially with pain clinics (chronic pain sufferer here) apparently no matter what I'm always a drug seeking addict. The ER docs are the worst, especially the psych ones. For some reason they see me for five minutes and determine I have borderline personality disorder. I don't know how they come to that conclusion after only five minutes but it happens every time. Apparently mentioning any kind of abuse automatically put you in Axis II personality disorders lol.
