Appreciate all the suggestions - decided I'm going to take just a few pertinet tests but will let him know I have detailed info any thing he may want to see (I know all the tests I've had so if he suggests something - I can say yea or nay I've had that).... I dont really have anyone to go with me - someone is driving me but they dont understand or know my medical condition and no one sees me struggling wtih this daily - so better I deal alone I think and just try to be as subdued at possible (If I have to I'll sit on my hands!)... yes, I will ask for help.... I have a feeling he will ask why changing docs - but second opinion/closer to home I feel is all he needs to know.... (and I want ongoing care)....

And I think most important - I've got to remember - a complicated case cause of other medical conditions may not be something he can embrace or wants to take the time with, and, I may not like HIM.... so wont take anything personally.... (at least he has good Med School backgound - checked that out)......

Dakaota - yes - docs are just people like all of us - except hold a degree of power over our futures - and they abuse it at times... I gotta remeber.

Curious - I would have stabbed that doc!

Hey Joe - my doc who told me that I was sending mixed messages told me he thought it was cause of my profession (being in HR for so many years - ya gotta be "up" and give someone your full attention all the time for interviews,etc.. its very hard to unlearn that... but I'm trying - I still dont ask friends personal questions at times because I know they are "illegal questions"....)

Anyway, will do my best - be openminded - and see what happens... after that appt also see doc for more tests on fibroids that same day - so maybe will explain some of the other pain....

Thanks again.
