Where is everyone from and what treatment works for you?

Elaine, it was really understood until the 90s. That may be why you were diagnosed around the same time I was. Having a female doctor who was always reading and studying new discoveries and treatments really helps. I won’t see a male doctor (except psychiatrist) unless it’s an emergency. (Sorry guys, you just can’t empathize with us.)

@hraka13 I did have a female doc who referred me to a rheumatologist. I have had mostly female doctors but I had one who was a gynaecologist and I overheard her telling a colleague that it was all in my head. I complained about her to the College of Physicians. Others told me she was a good doctor but she wasn’t for me. My specialists have mostly been male doctors and most have been kind and helpful.
