Did something hard w/ pdoc.

[berry2000]

I went out on limb w/ my pdoc and it paid off!!!

I was honest and open and brought up all my thoughts and concerns...(kind of first time).

I told him about all my horomonal issues, pms (emotional and phsycial side effects). And I told him i think i have PMDD (pre menstal dysphoric disorder).

Suprisingly, he really listened and suprisingly he really understood and even more suprisingly he had a really good response.

He is sending me out for a consult at UCLA (best medical place in Californina). To someone he knows in the Women's LIfe section of the Psychiatry department there.

For the first time , in a long time, i feel like someone may finally be able to piece this thing together.

It is hard sometimes to be open and honest with our Dr's and counselors. But it is vitially important that we are. There is nothing they haven't heard before in most cases. We need to play active roles in our diagnoisis and recovery, because no one knows us better than we know ourselves. It is also necssary for us to be assertive with our Dr's and counselors, it is a qaulity they look for in us and try to build in us.
So I say well done berry!!!

I have trust issues, berry. So, I am very proud you were able to do this. It will pay off in the end for you I am certain. I don't think I could do it. So here's to you!

Yeah! Thanks guys for all the support.

Alaska momma, i have trust issues also...big ones. That is partly why I report that i did this. If i could do it... there's hope for you too! When i first started both my therapist and my counselor could not get much out of me...now they cannot get me to shut up. Which they both say is much better.
