Why are doctors so unhelpful?!!

Honestly change ur Dr. When ur at ur lowest point having him deal with u with that attitude will be the last thing u need. Done it..got the T-shirt. Find another Dr in ur ok moments so that when u need one uve already set up uve products support.

U should ask this tw*t to come and do a speech for the Fibromyalgia UK support group to share his wisdom with us all so we all realise we are just imagining all this.

Laugh at the poor man for being so closed minded and don't bother with him. We all know we have to use our energy wisely. Don't waste any on humans like that.

Hi I'm Zoe by the way. I'm 40 yrs old diagnosed at 27 yrs old.

Hope this helped in some way. Lol 😄

I would say to him and then ask him.., 'well if you don't believe in Fibro, then your not keeping up with the number of actual Medical Researches and their proven Research on the Condition.  So if you don't believe in it, then what is you answer to those round the world diagnosed with it?   If you don't believe in Fibro, and you don't believe I have it, even though I have been diagnosed with it,  WHAT then would your diagnostic be?  If you can't diagnose me and actually help me, then please REFER me to a Rheumy Specialist with knowledge of Fibromyalgia.

IF YOU can't do either, then I have to pull into question you Medical ethics and Report you.   I might be slow but I'm not dam stupid.'

That's what I'd say....  I've basically been putting out the very same message of recent times.  But then I did get a good Specialist doctor fully knowledgible in Fibro.  I had to push for the appointment and threatened I would need a formal written letter outlining why the doctor refuses to take me on for a 2nd Opinion.  And forward it to the Health and Disability Commission.  Because no-one should be refused a 2nd opinion, that's the word of the Health and Disability Commission.  Everyone is entitled to a 2nd opinion.  A third if necessary and so on.   

To many Doctors are under the thumbs of the Government Services and they are 'Gatekeeping'....   they are told to.  Also doctors don't like to be pulled up for making certain diagnostics.  

Here in NZ in the South Island I found out that there is a Hospital Board that will not accept referrals from GP's for folk with Fibro,CFS etc to attend the Hospital Rheumy specialists!!!!    Considering folk sometimes need real help, considering Rheumy's should be folllowing up on folk with these conditions 'to learn' from their patients...For goodness sake!!   That's what supports Research....  BUT NO, it's the almighty $$$$'s that speak.   Most of us are so drained financially not being able to work and not able to afford to go PRIVATELY.....  So does anyone care...NO....  NOT till it hits them HARD, and then they stand to lose family, friends, and their personal funds over time...their self esteme, confidence, till the last thing 'hope'...Hope to be understood, hope to have that little extra assistance where most needed.  Lets face it, we do resemble 80 - 90+ year olds that are not as fit and able anymore and who are more mentally and physically challenged. That is US, some from very tender young ages, onwards....

These non-believer doctors need to get their heads out of their asses.  Read the Reseach, which by in large IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!!   

Nurses and other practitioners have to upskill and do courses at their own expense of so many hundred hours/year.  DOCTORS should be to.  Instead of relying of basic training methodologies, from when they trained.  They need to be upskilling all the time.  They dam well get paid enough..
