I am so glad that I led you to some questions to ask. Possibly write down your questions in a notebook before the appt...then you won't get bullied into not asking questions; and it gives you a place to write down the answers you hopefully get. Another suggestion: be pushy and even embellish ALL the problems. I have found that embellishing has been somewhat helpful in getting the dr. to "feel your pain and symptoms ". Let the doctor believe you got your info for questions from your own reading or a free consultation with a virtual dr appt. These days drs get really narcissistic and arrogant and frequently just tune out, at the mention of the internet.
I really hope you get seen by a good doctor and that they answer your questions. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers....truly you will be on my mind, since I am currently experiencing a new episode of NO 💩 for 3 days, now straining burning diarrhea and cramping.
Faye, I am happy that you will share this with me.
GOOD LUCK 👍 Shelley
