I've learned the hard way that my doctors do not need to know everything. I know what they need to know and what I'm better off keeping to myself. My doctor isn't a bad doctor but he's not as informed as he believes himself to be and has made very poor decisions regarding my care in the past. I have zero intentions of spending the rest of my life on these drugs and he keeps acting like I have no option but. He's wrong and it's my body, not his. In a perfect world I could tell him everything and he'd respond appropriately but in our real world relationship he only hears and responds in a way which doesn't take my individual unique aspects into consideration so I withhold when appropriate.
