I have lost all faith and trust in doctors

I have lost faith in many, in the hospital and in treatments to help. It is awful. My Mom was misdiagnosed for her cancer and brain tumour--I caught the brain tumour before her doctor and an ER and took her to a much larger city w a better ER where they caught it shortly after. The whole experience was so traumatizing now when I go for any procedures for my own health issues I freak out every time.  I have faith in a few drs but not many.  I feel for you.

I hope you find someone. Don't give up. My aunt told me once, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Once I had a gall bladder attack so bad the stone blocked off my liver. Went to the hospital because I was puking when eating, something they had warned me about, and they thought I was drug seeking "cause I didn't look sick."  Thank goodness for blood tests, even if it takes 2 days for them to give you one.  At any rate, I didn't give up and you shouldn't either. FIGHT.

Also: everytime they give you meds, you feel better, they want you off the meds to "test how you are doing". They did this to my SIL with pred and me with all my meds. Guess what... the meds HELP! So I have just absolutely said I can't go without meds. Sure I am very high functioning with them, almost too good to be true right now, but when I am off it goes downhill. I think I bullied all my drs cause I got all the meds back. BE FIRM.
