I been misdiagnosed 4 or five times with apparent illnesses,and i was said to be making things up till the tests came up positive, actually by them not catching it i think they caused other illnesses.I had a psychologist just look at me and say that i was exagerating,never treated me before did not know of my plight.
The tests don't lie specially in my case, I thought what a moron.
I am deadly afraid of doctors I lost their confidence and trust. i am always thinking are they pulling something on me again.
I take the pills so i don't panic but the pills just slow my heart down but in my mind that insecurity is always there.

Hi John,
My depressive symptoms were multiplied tenfold by a stubbornly insular doc. who refused to accept that I might just have an insight into my own illness, its (circumstantial) causes, and my own reaction to 'therapeutic' AD doses.He also refused to accept my Fibromyalgia as an entity in itself and a cause, not effect, of my depression (My current p.doc agrees with me).
It is difficult for me to to trust ANY doc. fully after this experience, but I have found that self-education and communication, although this sounds simplistic, are the best options.
Some docs are more used to dictating to patients, as opposed to a two way interaction.
If you find that you're ******* against the wind with your doc. when you try to assert your opinion- find another doc.There are plenty of open-minded, sympathetic physicians out there. Trick is to find one, and work with them.Col.
This is the end of the thread.
