Totally agree....
i've been with my same pdoc for 9 years...been on over 30meds. Bless his heart he hasnt given up yet!
and its been tricky for him as at first i was dealing heavily with complex PTSD. which intertwined with lots of my biological symptoms.this last bout of trouble getting my CorePharma brand generic adder all had me scared. i tried three other meds, and all sent me spiralling down.
i finally asked him (very solemn) if i can't access this med, what's left for me...what do i do?He sat forward in his chair and said very matter of fact "then we make it, i'll call in a pharmacologist or whatever we need to do..."
it just relieved much of my stress to know that i have one person on my side...one person that is wiling to help me with this illness. Especially when most dont even believe i have "anything wrong with me other than normal stress, or laziness"....ahem, that's another story.
But sometimes just knowing you have someone who's 'got your back' in this fight, is enough to keep you going. sometimes stops you from giving up...or allows you TO give up and let someone you trust take the wheel.
good topic.
