Autoimmune disease mistaken for mental disease

I have had the same problem with several doctors who made the claim that I was psycho. A cardiologist started the crap, and it spread like wildfire around the NW and SW, AZ to Seattle. I was rejected by a rheumatologist, several cardiologists, several major centers, a hepatologist group, etc. My Rheumy even told me to stop looking for my problem. After a while, I found a PA who believed me, then a GE, and finally a Hematologist. And in the meantime, I have studied as hard as I could. I bought an expensive book, and contacted companies which produce meds for my disorder. I now know more than most docs about the disorder. Anyway, study hard, and change docs if you need to. You don't need the crap.

yes and oh boy! finally another one of us sees where quite a number of doctors are coming from. (so very, very hurtful and harmful). it is a shame for the more humane doctors to be associated with these unacceptable people called doctors. keep believing in yourself.
