ToeJam, it makes sense to me also. It use to be you could go to your doctor tell them what is wrong as to how you feel and they listened. then they would work with you to try something and or a medicine. you aren't allowed to say anything to a dr. nowadays or they think you are diagnosing yourself to the dr. and they treat you badly. that might be what is happening: you are communicating and they don't want to hear what you feel is wrong with you.. they want you to let them ask the questions then push you through all the tests. That is what i have found and it was totally counter productive. It destroyed a 14 year with another doctor that worked for me with 3 that did not. Now i don't do anything. My new dr. i won't let them do anything but monitor my meds and pain, that is it. We all want to be treated with respect and when we feel we don't get it we clam up and stop communicating. to them there is nothing wrong, to us they wasted our time. the key is getting someone who listens and works with you. I hope you have a better experience next time. blessings and tc ps.. i love the cat with the kitten in its mouth.. it is adorable
