New doctor says I look healthy. If for once one of these docs could crawl into my skin they would know that I don't feel healthy.
Pretty much said that my symptoms are kind of like having a "fever" of 99.0 instead of 98.6. (OK that's a quote). Actually, that was in reference to my bloodtests. Yeah there is some mild postive or abnormal results in many areas but nothing to write home about.
My life is like that movie Groundhog's Day..keep going to new docs and they keep running the same damn blood tests. That is what this one ended up doing.
Time to call Dr. and schedule a $1200.00 out of pocket appt. I am so damn depressed about this.

Yeah...I was told I "look fine" so I can relate!
$1200 seems like a lot. My first appt total with a LLMD was roughly half that and I ended up getting some reimbursement from my insurance company. Can't you find someone cheaper?

OK..so how many diseases can you identify on the surface...really. Not even cancer. Come on with this.
Yes the doc today kept asking questions related to stress and sleep. Like others haven't barked up that tree.
Made an appt with an ND on the LLMD/ND list. At least they picked up the phone.
Trying to move on without the energy to do it.
