Yea, I feel like I am at my witts end with drs. I went to my GP back in january with major anxiety and depression that was triggered by my daughter having lice... I freaked out way more then usual. But was also having physical problems like shaking, weak... I also have hypoglocemia so I thought my blood sugar was low. My dr thought it was all anxiety and check my blood sugar but that was fine. I called her months later still shaking and weak but mentaly feeling great! She said it was probably still the anxiety. This made no sense to me because I wasn't stressed out or anything. But that was it, she seemed to not be interested because I told her I wouldn't take antidepression meds becasue they only made me worse.

I kept feeling worse, my eyes were bothering me, I was very tired, shaking everyday. (I take adavan to help the shaking ... does that make sense that it helps?) I was also having days where I couldn't think straight and I was very foggy... feeling high.

Well my insurance changed right as I was planning to go to the drs and insist on her checking my blood for animia and other defincenies. Because I was doing major research and talking to friends and finding that my symptoms were the same as forms of anemia. The new dr gave me a list of blood tests checking for fatique. B12 def came up but all she said was take a suppliment and come in for a follow up in a few weeks.

When I came in for a follow up she acted like she didn't remember she asked me to come in. And when I asked her for a B12 shot she acted like this wasn't something she thought I needed but gave it to me anyway. SHE is the one who told me how serious this is, but isn't taking the proper steps to help me. She doesn't seem to be concerned with WHY I have this and what my other symptoms are. She doesn't ask me any questions at all.

I started feeling crappy again this past week (two weeks after my first shot) so I made an appointment to come in and get another one. I told her I was getting shaky again and that the adavan works a bit. She hears adavan and says that if thats working that she doesn't think it's the b12 and thinks I should see a therapist! OMG, in my opinion and this just my opinion... but if b12 effects your nervous system and it causes tremors as a side effect (something she doesn't seem to know) then why wouldn't adavan work??? it calms the nerves!!! I was so angry when I left her office. I know myself. I know I am not depressed or stressed out. I am not having anxiety... what would I go to a therapist for... what would I say???

So here I am, feeling like I have no dr. Monday morning I am going to call my moms Hemotologist and first see if they take my insurance then make an appointment for as early as possible. I am sick of talking to dr's who don't know crap about this problem. I think what i am most ****** about... is my GP knows how serious this is and yet never thought to send me to a specialist... espeicially if she doesn't know enough about it!

like, "oh, this is very serious, you could end up with brain damage, but I don't know enough about it but I'll just NOT take care of you myself!" he he I know that doens't make sense but you get the gist... lol

I know this is a long one... but I really needed to vent

thanks for all your responses. I am really happy I found this site
