does anyone feel like their doctor's brain just doesn't take that next step?

lol i'm not saying my doctor is stupid. It's just ...

okay examples:

they find that I have a very high level of EBV (epstein barr virus)

in my bloodstream. I look it up on the web. I learn that alot of the

times EBV can attack that cardiovascular and neurological areas of

the body. I have heart disease and seizures. Yet - my doctor never

mentions this.

or that alot of time EBV can lead to other diseases and syndromes

(such as Chronic Fatigue, Sjogren's - based on what I read on the

web anyway) so doesn't it make obvious sense to then test me for all

the diseases (that fit my symptoms) that can be a result of EBV? but

does she? Nooooooooooooo.

or most recently (and sorry for the vent here lol) they did a slew

of blood tests. found out that I seriously deficient in Vitamen D.

So my doctor tells me to take a vitamen D supplement. I look Vitamen

D up on the web and see all these things about how it can effect

your parathryoid (which can lead to the thinning of the hair - which

is what I have), it effects the kidney, intestine, immune system -

but she never goes that far. she just says - take a vitamen and

that's it.

I mean to me - these things (the presence of EBV and the vitamen D

issue) are CLUES, that point to other problems. (let's do blood

tests to see how the missing vitamen D is effecting my body. I mean

it would be one thing if I was perfectly healthy - but i'm not! lol.

I've been sick for the last freakin' year + here, so - DO

SOMETHING!!!)

anyone having this issue with their doctor?
