What a mess.....I'm sorry that you are dealing with this, LLT
Thank you so much for your kind words.

The thing is, NONE of these doctors are really current treating physicians. My PCP has moved to a new practice that doesn't accept my insurance and it took me many visits to many different specialists to find out what my diagnosis actually was. I have documentation saying I'm male on one visit (a "well developed male" which really made me laugh), one saying that I have inappropriate judgement and insight in social situations with no further explanation- I honestly think they wrote inappropriate when they meant appropriate because I don't even drink and certainly don't use drugs! I've never gotten so much as a speeding ticket! How much lack of judgement must I have? LOL. I was also on a medication at one point that was approved for siezure disorders/bipolar disorder but was being used off-label for treatment resistant depression. I tell my doctors that I do not have bipolar disorder, sign a release for them to get my records, and explain that I do have major depressive disorder- I get documented as having bipolar I and II which isn't even possible. I tell a doctor that I have sympathetic nervous system disregulation that looks a lot like PTSD per my neuromuscular physical therapist but that I did not have PTSD but it was documented that I had PTSD and not the disregulation which is common in people with Ehlers-Danlos which I DO have! I get documented as having generalized anxiety disorder, depression, major depressive disorder, post partum depression, post partum anxiety, and mood disorder NOS when, in reality, it's just freaking plain anxiety and depression. That's it! It's not even possible to have all these diagnoses at once!
