I talked about it on twitter but for those that don’t follow me there, the appointment didn’t go well and I ended up breaking down in the office. The doctor was rude because it was a new clinic, first time there, and they didn’t have my information on hand as a result even though I gave them permission and I had my appointment set up for over a week. So they talked to me like I was self diagnosing when I was just parroting what doctors had already told me.

In the end, the doctor did several different kinds of exams and though I still have an infection it’s no where near as bad as it was and she is actually saying my pain is probably not even related to the infection at all.

After that I was really short with her because I’ve been treated for nothing but this for months, told this was the source of my pain, etc. She commented saying “You seem upset” and I just go off, I start bawling because of the stress of it all. Six months of this and I just have trouble taking it and I’ve had a lot of rude doctors over time, I think this one was probably the worst, worse than the first doctor that just rushed through everything because she just talked to me like I was a complete idiot.

My healthcare coordinator is coming over on Monday. We’re going to plan a visit to my normal doctor (set of doctors, really, they rotate). They’ll give me an exam and hopefully they’ll stop saying that it’s just the pills I’m on and treat me for the pain, do more testing, something. I can’t take it anymore and I don’t feel like I should have to.
