I can't explain in words how sick I feel. I am dizzy, my blood pressure is too low, I feel fatigue, nauseated. I went to the doctor because of chronic diarrehea today. He did not even examine me and said it is from where I had my gaul bladder out two years ago. I tried telling him I have collapsed three times, breaking my elbow one of thoes times. He did nothing!

Actually the first thing he asked when I went into the office was How is your husband and do you think he is depressed. He them proceeded to write him a perscription for antidepression meds. I told him that he was not depressed and already on meds from his pdoc. My husband was not even there.

After fimally getting his attention on to me he said he was concerned about my low blood pressure. He wrote me a percription for socks and an antibiotic. I do have a cold but I don't need antibiotics. The one he wrote I handed back I was severly allergic. I would not have filled it anyways.

I still did not get my problems taken care of. I ask if it could be my adrenal glands. Due to i am sick all the time. He said nothing else and left the room. Next the nurse came in and was giving me a shot of vitamin B 12. What is that supposed to do. I refused.

I just switched to this doc because I heard he was good. NOT. My last doc did not ever take me seriously. One of my problems is that I crave water and drink it until it makes me sick. He said well dont drink it. I tried telling him I don't have control. I called the nurse one day and he told her to tell me to call my pdoc. My pdoc was like what am I to do. Thats his job. I never went back to him. This new doc is an even bigger flake.

I kept calling my dumb doc about my blood tests. They said they were not there yet. I called the lab who told me that they faxed them the next day. I don't know what they did with my results. I went to the lab and signed to get my own results. I took a copy to the doc. They did not have time to tell me what they ment. I looked it up on the internet. Everything is in normal range except :
SGPT was low
Triglycerides High
HDL High
LDL High
VLDL High
RBC High
Hematocrit High

I don't understand why my cholesteral would be high. I eat very very healty. I don't know really what the rest of these test for.

Wow twirls, I feel bad. I have a wonderful doctor, I just hate doctors in general. White coat syndrome they call it. I hope you find a doctor that listens to you!

I did finally find a doctor that will listen. When he heard my symptoms he was angry that no one has taken me serious and checked me out. They think my stomach problem may be chromes.
