He does the best that can be done given who I am. I'm a contrary creature. He shows so little concern that I want to try to impress on him that it's scary and it causes me problems. But if he showed concern, I'd dismiss it. And of course, there really isn't anything to be done about it. It's more in the nature of a chronic condition than an illness.
I suppose that's one reason I tell my pdoc that I'm doing fine, when really I'm not doing all that great but I don't feel in need of medication changes. Or I tell my general doctor I'm doing fine when the truth is that the vestibular problems and assorted other problems do interfere with my life. But there's nothing he can do about it, so I guess I am doing fine as far as what he's asking.
I think my therapist is probably right not to get overly concerned about an ongoing issue that isn't likely to change.
