I am vision impaired and this forum is almost impossible to see on my tablet.
I am depressed, but it's caused from physical issues that my doctor won't seem to address. Oh I have lots of psych issues, but currently I am contemplating going on a hunger strike with the exception of juice for my diabetes just to keep my blood sugar up.
My problem is extreme lethargy. Complete immobilizing lethargy. I'm in chronic pain but the lethargy is worse. I've spoken with my doctor many times to no avail. He keeps saying my blood work is fine, he is the only doctor within 150 miles of me who will take me. Believe me, I've looked. Seeing another doctor is out of the question. The lethargy is so bAd, I just want to die. This is no life. I'm thinking rapid weight loss might get his attention. I'm going to have to do something drastic because he is simply not hearing me.
I tried calling the Samaritan hotline but nobody answers.
How do I get my doctor to listen to me ? I'm fairly sure it's a horomonal issue. I know it's something physical because it all coincided with a hysterectomy and being on several new meds for a heart condition. I think it's either horomonal or medication related. I've been complaining about it for almost 2 years now. It's to the point I can't function at all.
