@reesew07 oh no, that's so disappointing. When you are suffering and you get to see a professional who you hope is someone who can help, and then they don't listen, that's like a double hit.. I had a similar experience last month, trying to find a PCP who will at least TRY to help me sort out the complex situation I have been dealing with since 2022. I drove an hour to see her, filled out pages of paperwork, waited and when I finally got in to see her she was impatient, cut me off constantly and when we got to the end of the visit, I started to cry out of frustration, she opened the door, said "we're done, I'll walk you to the front' and left me sitting there in tears. Needless to say I never went back.. but it's soul crushing. I can say though I did not give up, I continued to look for a doctor and found a gastro doc who is new to my former GI's practice and I made an appointment, saw her and she was/is really trying to help. Please don't give up on getting help. Sending you loads of hope!!

@jgk177 Yes it is very frustrating! I got another opinion coming up on Wednesday. I’m hoping he will listen and is really good because it is an hour drive for me without traffic.
