I suppose that is a better explanation of what he thinks. I listen to the Dr. Drew podcast, and an interview I just recently listened to, they were talking about how chronic diseases sometimes manifest from trauma. That isn't to say they aren't real (because they are), but the causes stem from trauma. The body is a crazy thing.
Well, MC would probably say it's good he's saying I'm irritating because otherwise I would just assume I am anyway. Kinda like I often worry he's (H, not MC) mad at me, so one session we talked about how I needed to ask him if I was concerned about that, and, in turn, he had to be honest in response. So if he was mad, he had to tell me. Though, yeah, "irritating" is a little different... (Plus I feel like I'm irritating if I keep being like, "Are you mad at me?")

This morning he told me he researched some of my symptoms and e-mailed me what he found (of course I've researched them too and, like, am seeing a doctor). He said it could all be just from low vitamin D, which I did test low for (supplementing now) or from low B12, which I also got tested for, and which was fine. I feel like I should be glad he's looking into what might be going on with me, but I'm also kinda annoyed that he's like "Here's what it probably is!" Especially because he doesn't have a copy of the really extensive questionnaire/health history I filled out for the doc.

I'm supposed to be talking to the doc Wed. or Thurs. of next week--Mon. is a federal holiday, and they're always closed Tuesdays. I wish she could have responded more to my e-mail rather than having to wait, but I also understand that she probably wants to have a dialogue about it, maybe ask me more questions, etc. (I have a regular followup appt. scheduled with her, but it's not for another month...) So we'll see...
