[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 367485, member: 1233"] It isn't just us. I am friends with one of the nurses at the old pediatrician's practice. The old pediatrician has lost an astonishing number of female patients in the last couple of years because she is doing this to a LOT of young women. Apparently once you have your period all of your problems are either caused by your hormones or anxiety. Regardless of your history, family history, and life experiences. I was shocked because this woman pediatrician used to be completely different. When we first started seeing her she had a HUGE amount of common sense and used it. The same pediatrician treats young men very differently. I don't know why she changed, but I know at the first visit with each neuro they were very interested and then they spoke to that pediatrician and everything changed. EVERYTHING in the way they treat us changed dramatically. From "I don't know what it is, but you clearly have a problem. We WILL get to the bottom of it!" to "This is anxiety. There is nothing I can do to treat it. You must see a therapist and work with them if you hope to recover. Focus on being completely well and it will happen, you just have to be positive about it and be open to therapy." She even talked one of the docs into believing that Jess does not have the Absence Epilepsy because a 20 minute EEG given after she was on lamictal for 2 months did not show any seizures. This all sounds like a bad novel or one of those movies about the poor woman that no one believed but she kept trying and she found a cure. But you couldn't make up something this ridiculous if you tried. At least not before it happened! [/QUOTE]
