> i have a feeling that a doctor/patient relationship shouldnt be like this, but i feel like i'm preparing to go to war with my pdoc and gp. ive been researching and hunting up things of interest that might help me. i have a feeling im going to interrogate both of them on subtypes, and different meds. i wish i could switch them both, but theres too many politics involved.
Katey,
Unfortunetly there will always be doctors who will take offense when you make any suggestions as to your treatment. I refer to these docs as having the God Syndrome. I hope your docs don't fall into this catagory.
I am very lucky to have both a family doc and a psych who are very open to my ideas and my research. I in return am very receptive to any concerns they may have about them. Having a two-way street makes for a very workable relationship.
I wish you all the luck with you docs!
Greg
