If my doctor had his way....

[BugSick]

We have a general practioner overlooking our pain management and assisted us in filling out paperwork (very timeconsuming) necessary for disability benefits which is one reason I tell everyone to find a doctor that you can establish some sort of relationship that might not accept Morgellons but sees the suffering and can help you in other ways like filing for disability and easing some of the pain or symptoms we live with on a daily basis....

my doctor and I butt heads every visit.....he calls this my disease....he says....."This is your disease and I expect you to keep up with this not me" and that he is not out to SAVE THE WORLD so don't expect him to....in others words don't ask me to get involved.....nice attitude....

OR

Every symptom he turns into something else.....

the night sweats and drastic body temperature flucuations (hormones)

Severe elbow pain (tennis elbow)

Severe lower and mid back pain (overused)

open lesions (self inflicted)

joint pain, tissue swelling, IBS and other issues (over the hill)

If he had his way my diagnosis would be something like this


Oh BugSick....you are

a hormone starved tennis elbowed fiber deficient insomniac picker....with over the hill issues

BugSick this is a very good tip you have presented here:

"I tell everyone to find a doctor that you can establish some sort of relationship that might not accept Morgellons but sees the suffering and can help you in other ways like filing for disability and easing some of the pain or symptoms we live with on a daily basis...."

But for most this is very hard to do because like my buddy they want that validation from the doctor for Morgllons. They usually end up on a endless journey onto the next doctor.
