[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 190783, member: 1024"] Can I provide another opinion.....similar to those above, but since I work for a doctor's office.... An ENORMOUS amount of patients fail to admit to everything, especially to a doctor they don't know. Please don't take it personally. You have nothing to hide, so you have nothing to worry about. You are absolutely correct about the diagnosis of depression being a catch all for the blame of a lot of symptoms and that docs don't quite take you seriously when you have pain symptoms. They blame depression and they blame the ability to cope. I see it a lot. I see a lot of docs ignore true symptoms when they see bipolar as a diagnosis. It infuriates me. Give him another chance. Go a few more times. If I were you, I'd tell him that you were a bit defensive today and that you'd like to start over. I've taken Missy all over God's creation and I've had my dose of docs thinking that I'm being over-reactive or that "I" need medication. ( yes...I actually had one of Missy's crazy psychologist's say that to me.)...yada yada yada. I certainly understand your frustration, but personally, I think you need to give this another chance. Don't be offended. He's being thorough and doing his job. [/QUOTE]
