[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 468619, member: 1514"] That little electric thing...I think I had it at a chiro place one time. Was weird. Almost like a TENS unit. I have had problems with my fair share of doctors too. Thats why I do my very best to hang onto the good ones when I get them. I was devastated when my gp started only doing hospital calls and very rare in office visits. I still use his practice but that is when I had to get sent to a pain management clinic. I just go to the practice for normal health stuff. I do know what its like to have to start over with a therapist after losing one you have loved. I lost Joy this past December the same time my dad died. I was livid because it was all due to insurance. She wasnt happy about it either. I was actually her first patient. We had a really close bond. Maybe too close. I saw another guy for about 3 months but I just didnt like his form of therapy even though he was very nice. Im still looking. Joy and I still see each other as friends. We call, email and meet for lunch or dinner at least once or twice a month. She is trying to find me another therapist even though that is not her job anymore. psychiatrists are easier to me. You dont have to build up as much trust with them, you just have to get your records that show that you have xxx disorders and then work with a psychiatrist on what medications you need to take. Now if you want the psychiatrist to have you retested on any disorders, ask for a new neuropsychologist. They should agree to that. Then you can discuss new medications or something. There are just so many different classes of medications and you need to discuss with a psychiatrist which ones you should try. You should be able to have an educated discussion with a doctor about a medication and why you are going to take it. I am not going to put anything in my body or do anything to my body without knowing exactly what it is or why I am doing it. Just not happening. Most doctors that I am involved with like that I am involved in my care, if they arent, they arent on my team for long. [/QUOTE]
