Need advice for communicating with doctor

You are not alone and will ALWAYS be heard here. I know how difficult it is to deal with doctors who don't listen. It's so frustrating and completely arrogant. Maybe try taking your mom next time and see how that goes? I'm glad you have family, even if they are an hour away. If things don't go well at your next appointment and you feel like you're not being heard, you have every right to voice your opinion. If things don't change, see what you can work out as far as transportation. I'm not sure where you live or what type of insurance you have but I know some insurance companies will include rides for medical appointments. It just varies from plan to plan, state to state. I am so happy you found this group. I don't know if that was your first post but you are always welcome here. Everyone is wonderful and supportive. You will always be able to reach out and know there are people who care. Take care and keep me posted. I would love to know how things are going.

Once again, thank you! I live in Canada, so insurance is a bit different here. I'm covered under both of my parents plans, but I don't believe that medical transportation is covered in that way, and another difficulty I just thought of is that I don't actually know how to use the insurance, so I'll have to learn that. Also, this was my first ever post, on any internet group (except for games), not just this one, so your kindness has meant a lot to me. I will definitely try to remember to update next time I have to see the doctor, which should be soon, because I'm waiting for my blood test results, and she said she'd call right away.
