How to talk to my doctor & share research/knowledge I have found?

I'm sorry for your experience and relate to bursting into tears in the doctor's office out of frustration. I've done that in more than one setting & have found most health professionals are compassionate and understand. But I know how that feels to react in tears when I wish I was more articulate, as I had been before my diagnosis. Keep your research going, I am, since I have nothing to lose and potentially something to gain.

@2011panc , thank you for responding. My doctor is indeed compassionate and I value her. I was sick for five years and my previous doctors were dismissive of my symptoms. The doctor I have now diagnosed my ME/CFS two years ago and I'm trying to gently point out to her that treatment recommendations from that time are no longer recommended today. I'm fact, they are contraindicated for many of us. My becoming a bawling baby every time I see her does nothing to help my credibility!
