follow these gals' advice - get that new Dr and don't give your old one another thought, I wish I could kick his teeth in for you! It took me a long time to learn to stand up for myself with doctors, but once I realized how much I was fighting for my kids and NOT for ME, I started speakign up FOR MYSELF TOO and fired 2 doctors (one GI and one OB-GYN) and got new ones. I told the new ones right off the bat that it was up to them to prove to me they could be my doctor, and after interviewing them, told them they were "hired". You are their BOSS!!! You are THE DONALD!!! Or should I say you are THE BETH!!!
Same with a therapist - I just saw a counsellor for the first time in my entire life and I thought I would hate the guy, had really wanted a female, but the truth is he was fantastic adn I do hope to see a woman for the long haul but point is people can surprise you. But if you dont' feel comfortable just be honest and open and say, "You aren't goign to work, I've got to find someone else".
I know - I mean I DO KNOW how hard it is to do all this when you feel sick and hurt, I really do!!!! Do as much as you can over the phone.
Okay - anyway - had to throw all that in, ditto what all these gals are saying, you are worth it!!!
