Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 This month has been really stressful - hubby out of town 2 wks in a row and going back to the dr - that always stresses me out. Tends to make me depressed for at least a week. I knew my results would be out of normal. 3.04 TSH last time and I still felt like crap. I knew going on much more meds I would be much lower and that the dr would be saying drop your meds. That stress alone is driving me crazy. Having to beg for meds that I finally found to help me is upsettting. My Mom felt better in 2 months on meds. It was immediate relief for her and not for me. 3 months on synthroid not a single tiny bit of relief. 2 months on armour (5 months total on meds) and I get relief and hope to get my life back. That's why after reading about drs dropping meds when someone on paper (test results) was to them hyper was in fact still hypo and needed more meds. The sad fact is that I could have defended and begged for the correct meds better only a week ago and here I am in a complete brain fog and unable to defend myself. She upset me greatly, I knew she would. Top dr. - what a joke! Why should I have to beg for my meds!?!?!??! I'm so angry. She mentioned 3x's I seemed angry. How dare she! I wish I told her off! How dare she piss off an already pissed off patient. Was she trying to get rid of me? What is the motivation of her saying that??!?!? Why shouldn't I be! I waited 15 yrs to get these meds and you want to take them away from me?!?! Give me a break. She tried to push the antidepressants on me. After being on them for 14 yrs with no relief only a pill to get me out of the drs office without a cure. I had a really bad day. I got lost on the way there. In such a state of drowsiness I lost my way. And mind you normally you could take me blindfold anywhere and I could tell you where is North, South, etc. I'm so out of it. Here I was thinking finally I was getting relief. 2 month of a little taste of normal. Some energy, motivation and less brain fog and here it is back and the dr says ok less meds. Excuse me but that doesn't make sence. I'm so sick of trying to get well. Defending and begging for meds. And the dr asks me why I am angry? Get real! 15 yrs of my life GONE. Give me those years back! The best time of my life, in my prime and it's all gone, gone gone never to be seen again. Give me a break! 37 yrs old and it's gone. Why shouldn't I be angry. She even admitted to me that I probably knew more than her. How depressing is that?!?!? Asked me what tests to do. What's the deal with that!?!?! I have absolutely NO confidence in the drs on this planet. I hear so much bad and very little good. All they want is a paycheck and they could care less about their patients. They consider us all a big paycheck nothing more nothing less. I'd like to sue them for the loss of the last 15 years! I wanted and planned to do so much and it's all gone. Gone, gone, gone! Thanks for listening, Yeh, I AM angry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
