Eh, no need to be sorry. It's the way things are. Everyone is put into your life for one or more purposes. The ones who leave have taught everything they've been put there to teach.
My most recent example is getting back together with an old highschool flame. The only reason we broke up was because we lived far away from eachother and were booth too young to drive.
It was a lot of fun. We'd hang out, go to dinner, the bar, whatever. Often we'd end up crashing at one another's place. Pretty soon I wanted a relationship, but she wanted to be single. I could not compartmentalize my feelings for her and pushed a bit too hard for something more than a friendship, albeit a friendship with benifits. I was an ... and didn't respect the boundaries that were set: Friendship. Yes, there was sex, but she wanted to be single and I didn't. We ended up going our own ways. I still care greatly for Sarah, and I know that she cares for me. We still talk on the phone now and then, but seeing her is just too hard for me.
What I learned: I can be a pushy person. Also, I've got way too much on my plate right now to be in a relationship. They're give and take. And I don't have much to give right now. I need to focus on getting off Suboxone and staying clean.
I'll shut it. I'm just blabbering on.

You guys, I'm a mess tonight... not holding it together very well. I went to the doctor today and he was an ...! He treated me so badly that I broke down and cried. He got so mad and told me to suck it up or find another doctor! I've been so sick that I don't have the energy to find another doctor and go through all the medical history about my rare disease that doctors don't even know about. Most don't have the time to do the research to learn the complexities of it and I end up not going until I need my prescriptions refilled. I feel like I have post-traumatic stress syndrome around doctors and I can't express myself very well.
I'm sorry I just really needed to cry on someone's shoulder for a few minutes.

Hey man, thats rough. A doctor should never treat their patient like that. Nothing wrong with crying, it just proves that you are human and aren't made of stone. I'm here for you, if you ever need to talk, send me a PM or something. If I'm awake I will likely get it as I'm at my PC most of the time. Now I am not always good at carrying conversation, but I am an amazing listener.
Ditto what Crusty said. Was gonna come in here and whine about stoopid allergies- but other peoples problems are def. worse. GoodDog, you ever need to unburden yourself drop me a line. I'm a good ear, or so I've been told.
Good dog,I went to a Doctor with an ear infection and severe pressure in my head.He was an ... to me and told me I was fine and dont be so dramatic.I am not a dramatic person at all!I was ......!2 days later in the emergency room they did a cat scan and found the infection had spread through my skull bone!DAMN DOCTOR!Find a new one!Some are just lousy!
Sounds like you need to find a new doctor. Same went with me and Fibromyalgia. Every doctor I saw said that I'm too young to have it and it mostly affect women. Well, I finally found a Dr. (my Suboxone Dr/Phsychiatrist, no less) that would listen to me and now it's manageable.
All is not lost, though. What part of the country are you in and what type of doctor do you need? If you're ok sharing that info, of course. I'm sure some here would help to locate some docs for you. Although it'd just be stabs in the dark.
Proof that some Dr.s shouldn't be practicing. At all! Not quite proof that most shouldn't practice, so I'll leave that to another issue.
I'm sorry we weren't here last night GoodDog, but I hope we are still able to help you get to feeling better now.
Holy .... that was scary.... I just had the worst coughing fit in my life. I could barely breathe and my arms and legs hurt so bad from it. My arms are doing better now, but I don't even want to try and walk at the moment.
I'm doing much better now... but wow, I got really hot and as I stated before SCARY! I've had bad coughing fits many times in my life, but only recently have I had side effects from coughing. The other day I got the arm pain, was similar to the armpain I feel now and then if I sneeze to hard, but today was the arm pain and then I tried to get me some water, but my legs said NO. Luckily, my fiance was here to help. I need to get in better shape, sheesh.
I know what you mean about coughing or sneezing causing arm pain. Not quite sure what causes it. The question is: Do I want to know?
Thanks for all the kind words and support you guys! After a good nights sleep I feel much better. I am going to have to bite the bullet and find a new doctor. I just hate going through everything to explain and document my disease with a new doctor. But it's better than being abused by the ... I have now!
Hope you're feeling better today Crusylicious.

I'd glad you're doing better GoodDog. Sometimes a good night sleep is just what the.. "doctor" ordered

To make things a bit easier on yourself, grab your medical history from your previous doctor. That will greatly reduce the time it takes to explain what's up to the new Doc and he has an idea of what's already been tried, but didn't work.
I'm glad to hear that you are going to find a new doctor. Even professionals like doctors and lawyers need to have some basic customer service skills. I will not tolerate being treated like that by anyone, especially when I am paying for their services, and you shouldn't either
Thanks for all the support. He's in his late 70s and I think it's time for him to retire! When his nurses have to explain to patients that he's losing it... well, it's time. I wish I could have got mad instead of hurt at the time, but I didn't have the strength.
I wish I could give everyone a big hug right now. Just imagine I'm sitting next to you, in my pj's with my apron on, my hair tied-up in a knot, 2 pairs of glasses on (cuz I forgot I had one on) and threads scattered all over the place (been sewing today).
I put the yakety-yak-yak kid to bed and sent the messy one out with friends, so we can sit and talk and drink tea (or hot chocolate) and vape and giggle away until you feel better
