I agree with you all regarding spending time and energy in finding good doctors. I have my list too, of doctors, I mean.
And by the time you find yourself at the end of the rope, and feel that you have to start at ground cero again, I have experienced more than one time comments from doctors like" She has had extensive work up by several doctors".
I have felt almost like I have to take punishment for trying to find the right doctor that is willing to put their professional pride to a test, and be willing to investigate and research to find diagnosis. Many of us here on this forum have multiple diagnosis ofautimmune disorders, and many of us have undiagnosed problems. Many of us also have neuropathy( me included) All theese conditions are very time consuming to diagnose.
We, as patients should not have to feel like this.
Good luck everybody, and do not give up.

I'm in the process of finding a new PCP because well...it took years for the diagnoses I have now. She never offered any blood work done that was offered by my new neurologist. She kept pushing meds on me. I had pluresy three times this year and she never was concerned. Not to mention I called to ask for refills for my lexapro Monday, well it's Wednesday now and they never bothered to refill it. Every time I would call, they blew me off! I am not happy with them and I am changing docs ASAP.

I wish you luck in finding one of the good ones... Seems there are a few out there...

Hi clsterwart
 

You are being your own best advocate. I hope a number of people will follow your example. Happy Turkey day. ginnie:grouphug:

It seems I have had to be my own all this time! My doc never even considered the tests I just had and now , I have this new diagnosis that has been the cause of my issues all along!!!!! :mad:
