Re: Trip to the Dr. a waste of time as expected. DISGUSTED :(

I use to have the utmost respect for Doctors but now i pretty much know they are all ego-tistical mother %¤#&!§-s. IMO all doctors are good for is prescribing anti-depressants to make more money for the drug companies so they can pay there salaries. You wouldn't believe the stuff i have been told the last few years. For IBS (which know i dont even recognize anymore as i now know its just a garbage diagnosis) i was told to adopt a pet, eat more Whole Grain (that was good for the Candida!) exercise (like i wasn't already), and listen to music. I was also told that when my intestine "Growls" that you can hear it that means its working. The pain in my stomach was all in my head because everyones stomach hurts. Too much gas was again all in my head because "everyone thinks they have too much gas". I was then handed a article from a book joking about farts being called sqeakers, bombs etc. Excessive burping everyone has i just cant tell because people burp under there breathe. I also shouldn't worry about my IBS because one doctor couldnt eat corn "so whats the big deal" he asked. I was also told "the mind is a powerful thing" by a nurse which implied it was all in my head. You also wouldn't believe all the snickers and eye rolling i have put up with as well when they spurt out the letters IBS. So in other words going anywere for me to get help with my stomach was a big waste of money and to be honest i would be alot better off emotionally if i hadnt gone................Should we take a look at how the Doctors treat Fibro? Well one doctor said the reason my whole body ached was because i was depressed. He said that if your depressed and you hurt it will travel throughout your body. I swear to god this was the exact same thing Dr Melfi told Tony Soprano the night before on a repeat of the Soprano's!!!!!!!! Seriously let God strike me down if i am lying! So guess what he prescribed? Yep more antidepressants! I then told him i will not take them because what he said is a joke and he said "do what you want its your health" He then stormed out of the room. The nurse then had the gall to want me to come back and set me up an appointment. When i called to cancel she asked why and i said "i have been degraded enough" She asked why i felt that way and i hung up on the bitch...............So what about a Fibro Doctor you ask? Well just another line of me paying money for antidepressants. I went and asked about my numb face, burning body, exhaustion, fogginess, etc and he said "live with it you are suppose to feel that way" he then asked if i hadnt read the book he had given me! Yeah great a pamphlet that tells me my life is over! So i go back this summer and tell him i am not any better. He than says its all my fault take more antidepressants. The same office visit i do a 360 and say yeah i am better and he says "i knew you would be" Seriously within 2 minutes i change my story and he just keeps feeding me the BS. So forward to December. I go in again and tell him my hands are numb, i am still exhausted, feel like shit, burn etc etc. He than tells me "thats not possible" But just a year ago i was suppose to live with it and now its not true? He says he can tell by just looking at me that i am fine. He says just look at all the weight you have lost (40 pounds). I then said its cause i get sick everytime i eat and he just quits the conversation and represcribes more antidepressants and some pain pill that you take with Aspirin. When i mentioned the aspirin hurts my stomach he says "it shouldnt" i then say "yeah but it does" he then says "well it shouldnt" and walks away. So basically all i got fore my IBS/Fibro was a bunch of antidepressants that wont work, my checkbook cleaned out, and my self-worth destroyed. Long story short dont expect anything from Doctors when it comes to Candida. I wish i had never went to be honest. Its too bad because there is suppose to be a Dr. that recognizes Candida about a 100 miles from me but i really don't need anymore bad/degrading news. Add on the top of this i have just realized my "herbalist" was raking me over the coals on supplements and prices and as you can tell i am pretty much about to give up on it all. A person tries to stay focused and positve but after awhile you just start thinking that your a joke and will be sick as a dog forever. Sorry this was so depressing but i am just so frustrated. Tweet
