I avoid doctors in general BUT an ongoing ailment became worse and I began a six month saga caught up in medical craziness.
I had always heard but never experienced the fact that areas of medical expertise are so narrow now that those doctor's refuse to look at anything else in any other area.
I'm caught in the web of 'just one more test' or 'here, try this prescription and we can rule out 'this'.
Nothing has hit on the cause so far and I'm resisting any further tests until someone tries to connect the dots.
My GP is a nurse practitioner and trying but I feel like we're floundering.
I think I need a time line, (this goes back years) with all the test results and things that didn't work including all of the things spotted in the tests that were noted, no matter how innocuous?
I have consistently gone the herbal route and after years I'm realizing that without a clear diagnosis I'm not making any headway.
Any thoughts or advice is very welcome 😊
