Are your PCPs-now aware of your eating concerns? Do they understand? Was it just luck of the draw, or did you search around and go to them specifically? Have you found if gender makes a difference? I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm not sure it does, but I don't know.
Sometimes I regret so much not being in treatment still because that was where the physician-experts were who understood everything, and how ED's related (or didn't, for that matter). Most of the questions I asked "Full Disclosure Doc" that related to ED recover, she said she didn't know how to answer. It's just hard when regular-medical, and ED-medical cross.
I'm constantly thinking how I can do something else here. But I can't figure it out. THe only thing I thought I could do was that I emailed LadyDoc from school (where most of my chart will be coming from) and updated her on the bureaucratic situation and asked if there was anything she could do, or suggest that I do, to figure out how to get the paperwork situation taken care of ASAP. Maybe I can at least get that looked into. I wish this new doc would help more with that though. So I hope LadyDoc gets back to me early next week.
I hesitate getting my T involved even more in my medical care but, do you think that it would make a difference if I had him advocate for me? Like, speak to docs on my behalf. [are there others who do that? is that what a social worker does? i don't know] Would that just make me look bad, or would it increase my case in their esteem? I realize the situation is not ideal, but I'm running out of ideas.
