Sometimes, I truly wonder if my Dr. is brilliant or a wacko. I come home with so much info that I don't understand..and feel like I didn't understand what i'm supposed to do next.
My Dr. watches the clock and when his time is up, he walks out the Dr. and never asks me if i have any more questions. I know he's trying to keep my visit down to a certain amount of time, so I won't have to pay more for my visit.
So, when i come home with tests for Dr.'s to do, the Dr.'s that I have, shake their heads and wonder why.
But yet, at the same time, I have many friends who also go to the same Dr. that highly respect my Dr.
He told me in 2008 that I would be in remission or symptom free in two years.. well here i am and it's 5 years later and i'm on just one step down on my pain medication.
We've gone thru all ABX that there are, done injections, picc line/IV meds and my body just isn't shaking this thing.
How do I know when it's time to move on to another Dr., and what in the world would he do different that i haven't already done.??? I'm confused and weary!
