Going to different docs? Can be a political 'mine field' in terms of professional egos and reputations. PUT that aside? If one doc asks you about another? Say SIMPLY: I'd like a second, different, fresh opinion, and or: 'We didn't really communicate/connect so well'. LEAVE it at that...therefore YOU have no minefields to navigate!
Say I truly WANT to know what's going on, and to maintain some quality of life better than what I have NOW!
Get the doc to work for YOU, not you for him!
Being honestly blunt here? Or docs will get together at their 'gatherings' and say 'OH, THAT ONE... Drug seeking, or real?' Get my drift? And, at such affairs they can be worse than stereotypes in the gossip and vague generalities categories...to our detrement! Just keep asking, and asking better and more astute questions from all you've learned here...on up the medical evaluation food chain! You mite actually hit GOLD! I've done it a couple of times, and am soo relieved that I did get lucky! Just don't give UP!
HOPE AND GOOD THINGS SOON! - j 's
