Hi everyone. I've been coming here for quite awhile to lurk and read but I haven't actually bothered posting anything til today, looks like. I realize how silly that is of me, to not participate in any of the discussions. 

Anyway, I'm a woman in my mid-20s with an annoyingly large amount of chronic physical and mental health conditions, and am having the usual difficulties of getting my doctors to do anything but insist it's the *other* doctor's problem.

(Rheumatologist: Well, *obviously* you're in more pain now because you're extra depressed, talk to your psychiatrist and get a THIRD antidepressant...no, I don't care that you clearly have autoimmunity in your blood because I don't see any rheumatoid factor... Psychiatrist: Well, *obviously* it's because of those cysts on your ovaries screwing with your hormones, go to your endocrinologist. Endocrinologist: It's got to be that arthritis and fibromyalgia, your thyroid is "fine" -- you need to make an appointment with your rheumatologist...ad infinitum)

When I joined, I didn't have insurance because I was still a student. Now I do, I take 11 RX meds daily and my quality of life is still complete crap and is taking a nosedive. It's like all this stuff isn't doing anything, like nobody's gotten to the root of the problem.

So, here I am, trying to explore some options my doctors don't seem to think are feasible. 

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to DBG. I feel your pain!

Where I live doctors are the same way..

Won't write you scripts for the meds ya need.

All my Suffering lead me here..

Hope you well wishes &'may you find what your

Seeking here on dbg!!

 
Currently on 11 meds might be part of it, sounds like they're passing the buck because none want to bite the bullet and try"real" meds.

Best of luck to you.

 
Yeah, as of today I'm up to 14 RXs. Jeez.

I'm sure that combined, they're doing a lot of not-nice things to my body but I think you hit the nail on the head regarding not wanting to give me "real" medicine. I don't even want anything particularly controlled, no narcotics or anything... just the opportunity to test out some less conventional (but supported by a little real research) approaches.

  4. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good morning Guys
  5. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  6. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
