Feeling Depressed After Doctor Visits

[paucek.sheldon1]

The subject sums it up. Sorry for those in the medical profession that I upset. I am pretty sure you are doing your best.

But every time I see a doctor I get depressed!

Recently I have been seeing doctors for this condition. I realize it is benign and that between us most people have tried everything under the sun. But... hope springs eternal doesn't it?

So usually I am feeling pretty good about myself... I can handle this... nobody's life is perfect... I have been given multiple blessing, I cannot expect a perfect life...

But then I see the doctor. And I am in funk! Saw my last doctor Thursday, July 5th. So still in a funk!

I guess I still withhold the hope that there is a solution and then when there isn't one I get in funk.

Thanks for reading my rant.

Hey, 43RichyThe43rd. I understand exactly what you mean. Two months after finding this site, I felt entirely confident I had bfs, and I really didn't even see the need to see my doctor. However, as I had made the app't, I went anyway. It was a total downer. He told me about a patient he had had with als, who experienced such and such, and then had died soon after. I felt like shyt after that. I wasn't even afraid anymore, but his attitude startled me. Don't get me wrong, he is a great doctor, very caring, indeed. However, he couldn't drop his doctor face and just say, "Hey, Basso, you are totally fine. Now how is your family?" The neurologist I saw was much better. Again, I only went because an app't had been made for me at the emergency dept when all this stuff began. He was awesome. He told me repeatedly how I was in great shape, nothing to worry about, and that twitching was just muscle fibres exercising some independence. That was over two years ago, and I haven't ever gone back to any medical professional regarding my bfs.

I have found that the best course of treatment is to live life fully, and exercise. Movement is the best remedy of all, I think. Mental movement, and physical movement.
