@jabrown0407 Thank you for letting all of us know what happens when you insist on advocating for yourself. It’s great that your doctor listened to you and ordered the sonogram you requested.
Congratulations on a benign diagnosis. That must be a huge relief.
Agreed that medical providers are our partners in our respective journeys. When I had a medical provider who didn’t listen to me, and made recommendations that did not fit my health and my lifestyle, I changed providers. I’m so glad I did because now I have a primary care provider who communicantes with me and we are partners in my health care.

@naturegirl5 You are very welcome. I have had multiple doctors tell me I am a strong advocate for myself. I believe in me and I believe in my doctors. I will listen to them when they listen to me. Mutual respect. I try to stay in my lane and ask 'If what you say is true then why ....? ' Filling in the blanks mainly on details about my symptoms, body, problems. I want to rationalize what they know with what my body is telling me. Most often it works for me.
