I have also found it very frustrating that Endocrinology is so limited. If it is about the endocrine glands, why do they not know how they affect the brain and women's issues. There isn't cross-over, at least that I have seen. I went to one once, and she admitted she didn't have the knowledge to address my concerns.
It is also interesting to observe how often doctors differ, and often to a great degree.
The medical field has a long way to go, we still have so much we don't know. Doctors need to admit that just because they don't find anything wrong or there isn't a defined disease that it doesn't exist.
Ranting on, like my brother's knee. He went to a reknowed specialist- "nothing's wrong". Finally he got to a dr. that figured out he had serious OCD. He has had to have at least 3 surgeries and has had his cartilege flown across the country to be grown in a lab. So I guess sometimes the dr. search is worth it. My sister found a neuro that found a rare chiari (sp?) that explained her migraines.
For my head, no one in this age will probably figure out what is wrong or how to fix it. I try, but that's really gotten nowhere.
I wanted to become a neurologist/endocrinologist/immunologist. Imagine how long that would take :) But unfortunately I'm not sane enough :)
Thanks for letting me know how your appointment went. I'm sorry it wasn't helpful. :(
