Thank you, I appreciate the support!  This has been an ongoing thing with my depo docs (I go to a clinic), ever since year 5 of me being on the shot. I upped my calcium intake from 600 to 1200, then to 1800 because the one doctor in the clinic told me to. THEN I see this other doctor in the clinic a few month later who says I can only absorb 500 mgs of calcium a day, so don't bother taking so much.
Ugh.
At this point, I am ready to falsify tests to keep on the shot. These doctors are only covering their butts based on hypotheticals. I've taken the SubQ (subcutaneous depo shot) the last 2 times, which seems to have less "risks." Of course there is not enough research on the Depo SubQ yet, so again, more covering of the butts.
<rant>I am so wary of doctors just based on all the awful treatment across the board I've gotten throughout my life. I see this for what it is, and have to play by their rules if I'm going to continue getting the shot. It's been withheld from me before (and d*mn the consequences) because I was late on my pap (I went to another clinic to get one that time).
I've been used to doctors refusing treatment/withholding medicine when I didn't pay or get "required tests," or see the doctor for an expensive appointment often enough. It's a business, and the difference what passes for care in this country and others is staggering. It's all about the money. </rant>
Thanks again for listening. You have a wonderful idea of going to gather research which will back up my case. I'm going to channel my frustrations and do some research now.
