Yeah, yeah I know it's the latest fad to some.....
Anyway, I've had strange medical problems for the last thrity years that doctors can't figure out so my latest GP is convinced if I just went on antidepresants my body would feel better.
Tried it hated it.
Now, I've had my appendix out b/c it ruptured, tonsils out from 15 years of chronic infections, 11 broken bones and the last time they said it looked like osteoporosis (I'm 34), chronic pelvic pain/burning that is not an infection or yeast but comes and goes with intensity over the last 20 years, and burning feet for the last 30 along with various dermatology problems on scalp and arms, oh and bowel movements like 7 times a day of mostly undigested food.
The last ten days I finally cut out wheat to give it a real try because I read that families of people with type 1 diabetes (my sister) have five times the chance of having it.
I feel so much better, and in one way that makes me happy, but in another way I'm so mad.
Now I have to go find a doctor and convince them to test me and I just know they are going to have me up their ass. Like I want attention or a disease, Christ I don't even know why they think this about people.
I'm not a complainer and hate going to the doctor for this reason. I haven't even sought help for most of it, but I know I need to now if even for my sister to get tested.
Any advice on how to talk to doctors so they don't automatically assume you're a hypochondriac? especially anyone who has it. I am dreading this.
