It seems like everytime I see a medical practitioner...
It seems like everytime I visit medical practitioner......they get overwhelmed. ... Has anyone experienced this? Recently, I ask for a physicians statement for disability and they scattered like cats... LOL..
No one wants to deal with it... .. So over the medical community at this point.
In addition, I struggle getting to dr appoints due to my CFS and poor sleep.. I find that the medical establishment, businesses etc.. have no grace for people with chronic illness or disabilities... They get easily annoyed. Whats crazy is I rarely miss Dr appointments if any. But the one time I do they are so upset. You would think they would understand....Anyone else experience this?
But I am doing better after 6 years... Seeing a chronic pain therapist and a somatic therapist has helped a great deal.. Thanks for reading.. Sending support and good energy to all of you.

I had GeneSight testing.
I've had LC for 8 months. My doctor doesn't believe in LC. She treats my symptoms that she understands. I Spend a few hours day studying LC and looking for helpful ideas. I am thankful for others who have these awful symptoms and share helpful discoveries and compassion.

1 ReactionI was given excellent advice - do not attempt applying for Disabilty without an attorney. With an attorney I applied and was approved, without appeals, within 5 months.
I hope you are successful this round!

3 Reactions@robbie81 Agreed.. Grateful for the LC facebook communities. How did you get LC? I didn't think people were still getting it this far out from the pandemic. I am so sorry.

1 Reaction@drbf ooohhh it was on my list of things... Dr approved it but then I lost my good insurance. I need to try again... Did it help?
@jrg200911 I had a free consultation with an attorney and was able to get approved. Turns out the nurse on the case said that I needed a neuropsychological test to prove LC. $2500 later I got the test and got approved.

I'm so glad to hear it! I'll be 6 years LC in September, but wasn't diagnosed until I was 3 years in. SSDI at 4+ years. It's been such a long process of self-advocacy, but I'm glad for the aid now that I have it.

It is genetic testing.
It can show if you have mutations that are affect medication such as psychopharma, antibiotics, and anesthesia.
@pataystyl Not only that !--Calendar is filled with family reunions, Class reunions, and summer festivals. Then people wanting you to do things and go places all the time, I really want to--just too tired and fatigued,
