Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Sometimes I really wonder about the people they let practice medicine. Last week I was at the doctor (rheumatologist) who gave me a muscle relaxer and prescription for myofascial massage therapy. Well, the insurance won't cover the massage therapy and the muscle relaxers didn't do much for the pain, so I went back with the intention of him referring me on to a neurologist since I haven't seen one for about 18 years and need a referral. Get this - this doctor proceded to tell me that I couldn't possibly have CMT because women " don't get that disease " . Sorry girls if you're laughing so hard you're about to wet your pants!! I proceeded to tell him that I just so happen to know of a group where it seems like most of the participants are women with CMT. He still wouldn't believe me, but he did give me the referral I was after. Quote
