I've read that a lot of you don't go out or have friends. I don't either, so don't feel bad. But, it's times like today, going to my NT family doctor and her being a complete b***h, that makes me just want to curl up in a ball, sob and never deal with anybody ever again. When I was telling her about how little sleep I've been getting and it has really been messing with me she said I was rambling and for me to "hush it" or she was going to "walk out of the room". B*tch,, aren't you paid to hear what my medical issues are? *screams very loudly in my head* So, anyway, I'm back to my original thought. What's the point of even going out into the world if nobody will ever understand me?

Oh, doctors. I have heard enough stories about them. I have started to become pretty suspicious of most of them. But I always managed to get doctors who were not that insulting.
But on the other hand... there are people who'll understand me. Not completely because that would be impossible, but some people can relate to what I feel. It's just harder to spot them.

Does not sound like a good family doctor to me.
Suggest getting a different one. When did your sleep problems start? or is it just stress of been in the point of thinking your not going to get anywhere.
Since the last comment. I can't really answer that. Except need a better hobby.

I had to take an 'if you don't matter to me then what you say/do doesn't either' mindset to deal with such people.
Switch doctors. |

I think if I went to a doctor and they said that I would have a hard time not hitting a wall or knocking something over and walking out...seriously what is with all these incompetent 'professionals'?

I've done just that before when a psychiatrist said something insulting to me. I had a complete meltdown. I stood up and when he stood in front of the door I harshly shoved him out of the way, told him to go do an impossible act, slammed the door, and refused to pay for that session. |

My psychiatrist laughed in my face once... I hate when "professionals" act like children.
My family doctor that I have to go to today didn't even exam me last time. All he did was tell me I had to lose weight. Didn't listen to my heart or breathing. What an idiot!

I saw a nurse practitioner once that was really mean to me and kept going on and on about how I need to be working or in school, asked if I had any mental illnesses in an insulting tone of voice, asked how I got there and when I said in a cab told me I "should have walked because you have nothing better to do" (I lived at least a 45-60 minute walk away).
I was there for my neck bothering me. The first time I went she neither touched or looked at my neck which was mostly covered by my long hair and the second time she looked at and touched it a little. No tests were ever done. At that point I gave up going and just put up with whatever was wrong with me.
I also once had a doctor flip out on me and my mother when she asked for liquid medication because I couldn't swallow pills when I was a kid. He insisted that if I could swallow food I could swallow pills. |

I have cluster headaches. They mess with your sleep cycle and I've gone from sleeping approximately 15 hours a day down to 4-5. When I don't have enough sleep, I hallucinate. This started yesterday and I desperately needed something to knock me out. I tried to explain this to her and that's when she told me I was babbling. I thought "duh!!!" I haven't had enough sleep. I'm better though.

[Can ignore this]
hmm. How much do you smoke? during this time? if any? Does it happen more often the more you smoke?
Just thought I would ask since you got cigs in your interest. Can ignore this. Just interested if you see if it does. Since it says other life style habits & other things. But if you never ruled it out....
( probably not thinking, that your just interested in the history lol )
Uk threatments:-
ZOLMITRIPTAN-NASAL SPRAY.
breathing 100% oxygen.
injection with sumatriptan.
not to drink alcohol at all for the duration of a cluster period.
then they is other drugs.

I don't smoke as much during a cycle because of the smell. It feels like razors going up my nasal cavity. The only reason I put cigs as an interest is kind of an inside joke, but I'm the only one who knows about it. *shakes head*
I have oxygen, 10 liters per minute for 15 minutes per onset of attack, toradol injections and imitrex (sumatriptan) injections in my cluster arsenal. I desperately want my trigeminal nerves clipped but since I'm not a chronic (I'm episodic) sufferer, I'm not a candidate. I'm asking about botox injections to numb the nerve on friday when I go back to my headache neuro doc .
then they is other drugs. |

That's what keeps me away from smoking. Except feels more like tickeling & makes me grab my nose.

Hopefully they will give it to you.

My mom died last year and I had a invitation from a friend to go to their house for Easter.
I have an aunt who has nothing to do with me 363 days out of the year, but 3 times a year she calls me because she wants a ride to the rest home where her disabled daughter lives.
My aunt does not drive - hence she treats me like I am a taxi cab.
At the same time - I do not have a income and I live by myself - hence I do not do much driving, except when I need to go someplace for myself.
Add to the confusion my dad and I don't get along and my family is not nice to me.
I do go to church - although sometimes I wonder why?
Because I wonder is there really a god and does he really care about me?
Easter is a holy day and I am not sure my friends goes to church.
I am constantly being pulled in different directions and I get to the point of where I do not want to go out of the house or go anywhere because I am afraid of people judging me or asking me to do things I do not want to do.
I would say, if anyone knows how you feel, I do.
As far as doctors goes, OVR asked me to go see a psychiatrist, and when they asked me to see someone locally - because I could not afford to travel and they have not been very helpful to say the least. Have not done anything for me in 3 years.
The first doctor on the list was one I saw when I was having issues with my X GF in court and my daughter.
I basically told OVR that if it was legal to shoot someone - he would already be dead.
There is all kinds of doctors in this world, psychological doctors, medical doctors etc....
You have to pick and choose what you say to each - carefully.
A medical doctor does not care about psychological disorders.
A Psychological doctor does not care much about physical issues - unless those physical issues causes psychological issues.
Maybe next time you ought to take a witness with you when you go to the doctors and if you do something inappropriate - they can remind you why you are there.
If the doctor does something inappropriate - they can be a witness.
But if you are not satisfied with the performance of your doctor, you have the right to find another doctor.
Maybe it is time for you to find someone else. |

I've changed GP's 4 times in the last 8 months
I also filed a complaint against a specialist who bullied me to the medical council
