I think we're all afraid of pushing too hard with our helpers, Sienna. We're all afraid that we'll burn them out, or that they'll think we're too much trouble. But I also think we need to remind ourselves that that *is* their job, and I'm sure they are professionals who know how to do their job. When is your next scheduled appointment? Are you feeling a lot worse now than the last time you saw him? If so it's important for him to know.
I think you should probably trust your doctor on what's real and what isn't more than you should trust us, however good our intentions. That's one of the limitations of the internet. Your doctor knows you, knows your history, and your circumstances, in a way that we just can't.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
