I think ‘fire your MD’ is the wrong answer. There is much a doctor is needed for. My opinion is there are a lot of things that meds don’t work for, but many they do. The trick is to know the difference. And find a doctor willing to work with that.
I’ve had a terrible year with my fibromyalgia and finally called my doctor. He’s 91, no kidding.
He asked a lot of questions about my lifestyle, activity, diet, etc and recommended a bunch of supplements and small changes I can make.
No drugs. No tests. Because he knows they don’t really work for this. For other problems you need medical intervention. Some doctors always resort to that because that’s what they’re taught, that’s what patients demand.
