I love the idea of trying a functional medicine doctor for you. When I was in the PRC -pain rehabilitation program, Dr Sletten referred to "Demo Day" from HGTV's Chip and Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper show, and how sometimes we have to look at what we are doing because if it's not working we may have to rip it all down and try to rebuild. As you've experienced and are seeing in this thread, patients get frustrated with doctors and conventional Western medicine and maybe that's where demo day has to come in. If it ain't working, change it! I think most of us are intelligent enough to realize that we're not going to cure ourselves but what we do hope for is some plateau and stability - a way to manage our overall health and well-being -physically, emotionally behaviorally and chemically. Good luck to you, my friend. Have you begun the search yet for a functional medical Dr.?
