I don't know if this is the right board to post this at, but I am seriously distressed that my weight is affected by my meds to the degree that it is, but I'm not sure which med or combination is doing it. It doesn't seem like pdoc cares. It doesn't seem like he believes me that it has something to do with the meds. It doesn't seem like he wants to work with my other doc (because I'm on synthroid/have low thyroid...suspect it might be because of meds...) in figuring out the best solutions for me. It also doesn't seem like he wants to listen to me when I say I don't like certain meds (when there are alternatives that are viable even).....In fact I don't even know how he chooses the meds he does because he asks me the same, simple, superficial questions each time and I could say "iunno" to all of them and he'd still switch my meds. It doesn't seem like he wants to get me up to the optimal functioning or the best/easiest/least side effects combination (where I feel good, not using the most meds possible........) I feel like my other doc doesn't want to help me either, but I guess that's not what this board is here for (to complain about that too). I already feel helpless and hopeless and when the people I go to for help don't listen it's soooo demoralizing. Sorry for ranting.....anyone have the same experiences? How do you or did you deal with them?
Thanks for reading.
Meg.
