To see if what she prescribed is helping. It's too early to tell because it takes a couple of weeks for one of the medications t really fully help.
And, of course, I had an anxiety attack as soon as I hung up the phone. I just have a list of horrible experiences with doctors. One lied to me, telling me I need to be admitted to the hospital for tests because they thought I had a fungus infection in my lung. Then I saw my intake papers. They thought I had cancer. I didn't. My mom was in on the lie. One groped me and he was in a specialty where there was NO need for that. One injured me during a pelvic exam. Oh, and one told me I was ugly. Not sure why except that he was an absolute asshole.
My dad was misdiagnosed with MS when he was 68. Huh?? It was actually a brain tumor and he died years before he would have if they weren't incompetent or apathetic doctors.
My aunt was lied to about why she had surgery. It was for a confirmed cancer but they never told her that. Her boss was a VERY influential guy and he talked to doctor into not telling her. Another doctor put her on HRT, she developed uterine cancer, and died.
Don't even get me started on Navy doctors. They had me on a medication that caused me to lose my appetite AND about 25 pounds. I was having blood drawn about every 2 weeks to check my potassium levels and one poor corpsman blew out the veins in both of my arms. I was down to about 110 when I left the Navy. This was one of the main reasons I didn't re-enlist.
However, I LOVE my therapist and the PA who is monitoring my medications.
