Yup Kmeb--I am just like you, always with a smile. My primary doc tells me I always come in looking so happy and healthy, he just can't believe I do not feel well. I simply tell him that I do not have to make him feel bad simply because I do. I go to work with headaches that most people would not crawl out of bed with and I still smile--I just don't know how to act otherwise.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
