hi Maria- I think I can speak for some others when I say "Yes- I often have felt many of the doctors I've seen make me feel as if I am crazy." It is very difficult. Prior to fibro getting worse for me I honestly and natively thought all doctors wanted to help people and that talking about the crazy things that were going on with my body was something I should do and feel comfortable doing. I soon learned that regardless of how well I articulated myself- I almost always felt emotionally worse walking out of a doctors office. All I can say is unless you don't have a choice of doctors- I personally feel it is of no help seeing someone that ultimately will cause you stress because of their reaction to your concerns. MOVE ON- I can't tell you how much I doctor hopped. They say you are not suppose to however this is my body and my life and if I don't feel a doctor is treating me with some dignity and respect- I'm not wasting my time with them. There are some doctor out there who will make you feel at ease. They might be there to examine you but you do your own form of examining as well. I didn't and their reactions and lack of bedside manor really took an emotional toll on me. I'd handle it by simply moving on- but that's me. If they don't seem to be taking you seriously or they look at you like what you've described is as if you are an alien- I don't think it's that easy working with them- more so for you. |
"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
