YES!!! There are times when I am totally gung-ho about going to doctors appts and working on my pain issues. Then there are times when I say I have had enough and I need a vacation from these same doctors. I know they are trying to help me but sometimes what they call help, hurts more. Like all of you have been through tests up the waazoo, doctors coming out my backside, specialists the same way. It seems my full-time job is going to appointments right now. Eventually I will get sick of it and taper it off, but right now it seems my body needs the attention from PT and TPIs. Lovely huh?
Well, the best advice I can give you is to keep fighting when you feel you are being talked down to or shrugged off. You have to be your own advocate, unfortunately no one else will.
Good luck!
