My frequent experience contradicts the statement "Most people keep personal troubles and health issues a secret until it's too late". My experience is more like your's either the physician makes a judgement and refuses to reconsider or they can't tell anything is wrong until it's major. I've had cancer, my gall blader removed and now reflux. They couldn't diagnose it with my symptoms or tests. When I ended up at the emgerncy room I was asked "didn't you talk to your doctor". Well yeah, but he couldn't find it.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-11373606499741092532010-06-10T19:07:34.418-05:002010-06-10T19:07:34.418-05:00This is a fabulous post!

After, poking, prodding and cajoling and getting downright angry, I convinced her to get a second opinion. Now she's glad she did. In a few weeks we (yes, we. I promised her I'd be there every step of the way) will be going through treatment. Your post is positively uplifting. Again, thank you for sharing this vitally, important information.<br />AngelaAuset's Stitched Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924962703801889913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-82726789155714908332010-06-10T08:44:14.049-05:002010-06-10T08:44:14.049-05:00I am glad you finally got a proper diagnosis and a...I am glad you finally got a proper diagnosis and are getting some relief! It is so frustrating when doctors won't listen to you about your own body which, after all, you know best. When I went to one doctor for my chronic low back pain he said, "But you're not fat" and told me to take a laxative.

Thankfully when I went to my old doctor and she did a whole gamut of tests on me (as I am now in my 40s) and picked it up. I had been feeling exhausted for a long time. I am definitely in the "get a second opinion" camp, after all doctors are just human.

When I started having bleeding issues, tiredness, lack of sleep, etc. and went to my practitioner and actually said, "Let's look at my thyroid because my mom had hypothyroidism," she actually said, "Nope; you're just going into menopause." I was really insistent to have the tests done and when they came back with the TSH through the roof, she acted as if this was this huge surprise to her. I worked with a lady who ended up on multiple psychotropic drugs because of her depression, lack of energy, feelings of helplessness and so on. I told her to ask her psychiatist if it might be her thyroid - ding! She was off those psych meds within two weeks and started on thyroid replacement hormones. Pay attention to the thyroid - it is the master gland and if it gets messed up, it messes everything else up.Toby Wollinhttp://www.kitchencountereconomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-44746842677907225232010-06-09T10:56:28.144-05:002010-06-09T10:56:28.144-05:00Thank God that you finally got a doctor who listen...Thank God that you finally got a doctor who listened to you and took a more holistic approach to your health.
