I don't know what's bothering me either. The weight issue is a problem, but it not a health problem. When I went to that appointment, I planned on getting on the scale and having an independent 3rd party support what I've been saying. Then the next time my H starts in on me I could simply say, "I know what I am doing, my doctor and I have discussed it, leave me alone about it." I could have easily said to the nurse, "No, I think I'd like to weigh in because I want to ask the doctor what he thinks about my weight loss." But, I didn't. Its the same thing with the ADHD medication. There was no evaluation done, the neurologist just basically asked me a few questions and gave me an Rx. My second appointment with him he recommended that I double my dose which would have put me well above what is recommended in the literature. I declined to follow his instructions and stayed within the recommended dosage. I don't really trust the neurologist's judgment, I just go to him for the Rx. It helps me but I have no idea if I really have ADHD or if I am just getting off on the stimulant. Again, I wanted to raise this issue with my GP, but I didn't! When it came to the actual conversation, I didn't want to draw attention to this issue. I didn't want to be mentally ill. I just wanted to hear that I was fit as a fiddle and doing great. I'M bothering me.
