I want to thank everyone for your awesome words of encouragement & I’m sorry we have all been brought here under such poor circumstances, but I’m glad there is a community to make us feel less alone.

Many asked about Lyme & I was tested for Lyme Disease which was negative.

Sadly, my PCP fired me as a patient a few weeks ago because she found out I asked for a second opinion. (This was because she had told me to try Mayo Clinic because she was out of ideas even though she put forth zero effort in even finding a diagnosis, but I digress)
Apparently both doctors are under the same network & she was alerted to it somehow. All I was told was that she is severing ties with me because there were “negative connotations” in the notes from the other doctor & because of that, she no longer feels she can be my doctor. I was blindsided by this but more so just really confused because I KNOW I did not say a single negative thing about her during my visit. I mean, I’m not a 16 year old for crying out loud.

You see, having tattoos & being involved in the tattoo world for so long, I heard a long time ago from an artist that you NEVER speak badly about an artist to another artist because it only makes YOU look untrustworthy and difficult to work with. Some artists will not even work with you if you have that sort of behavior, which I don’t blame them. They just don’t put up with putting other artists down.
Anyways, that little tidbit has always stuck with me & I’ve since applied it to every other professional out there, including physicians. I simply would NEVER talk badly about a physician to another physician. Period.

I was able to get ahold of the notes from the visit & it only confirmed my suspicions that she was making it up. I truly believe she was just ready to cut ties with me because I would always request new testing & asked questions.

So, now I’m without a PCP with a chronic illness. I’m heartbroken, I’m offended, & honestly my feelings are hurt & I don’t like my character being questioned. But….whats done is done and I’m sure it was time for a new PCP anyways so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. I’m not giving up yet. If anything I’ll survive purely out of spite. Lol.

Thank you all so very much for your kindness. I’m truly in awe of the kindness I’ve seen in this little community of complete strangers on the internet.
