Just a couple 'outside the box' ideas or something...       08/30/05 09:12 PM Edit Reply Quote Stephie Reged: 03/10/04 Posts: 2696 Loc: Vancouver, Canada Hi Beth, I can't believe what you are going through, it is almost too awful for words. First of all, let me reassure you that we will be here for your support. We will. Don't feel like you are a burden, or that we will get tired of you. So there. The GI doctor you saw sounds AWFUL. Everyone else has suggested some good ideas, and I just have a couple of others to maybe get you some attention and hopefully some help... If I were you, I'd write letters... First, I would write letters to other doctors and explain what's happened to you. Explain what you NEED from a doctor and try to appeal to SOMEONE'S empathy.. someone has to have some, right? The other thing that I would personally do is write a letter to local newspapers. When my mom was getting a poor amount of work, her and my aunt went nuts on the phone. The phoned a local government office, they wrote letters to the hospital, to the doctor's office... Everyone they could, they brought into the loop. I would make a real fuss, I'd really make sure that SOMEONE pays attention to you and fights in your corner. You need help and you can't afford it, people respond to stuff like that. And it can't hurt, right? Otherwise, did you say you don't have a regular doctor? You really should get one... Even if you can see someone regularly at a free clinic or something, at least they can refer you... I know it might be a shot in the dark, but it might help. Good luck, Beth, we're all here for you! **hugs** --Steph -------------------- ~~I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell-I know right now you can't tell~~Matchbox 20 IBS-D,pain.
