Okay, I just wrote a long response but I'm so mad at your "doctors" that it was totally incoherent. All I will say for now is that the $400 extra a year (if you can afford) sounds worthwhile. A health care advocate sounds awesome!
I do not like being prescribed with drugs for symptoms when I don't have a diagnosis. If they don't know for sure what's causing your symptoms, then how do they know how to treat it? Maybe it's something that can be fixed without the need of lifelong, "management" drugs.
No, you missed it, the diagnoisi is: FAT. ;D I kept thinking: "Skinny bitch! Have you ever been fat in your life?" And I was so FURIOUS when I found all those articles showing weight gain can be caused by BC - How DARE she make it all my fault. I've been doing so good these last few years, making HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES that have been WORKING only to have her drug take it all away and she has the AUDACITY to make it MY fault?! GRRRR - it still makes me angry. Ooo! I should check my bloop pressure! ;D
I totally agree! Today I had a previously scheduled appointment, so I'm going, but I'm planning three things: 1) Tell the (real) doctor I'm stopping the birth control (not sure if I should stop mid-cycle or wait till it's done, tho) 2) Tell the (real) doctor I'm going to continue taking the BP medicine and monitoring (need to know how low is low since I STRONGLY suspect my BP will go back to normal in a few weeks) 3) Tell the (real) doctor that I'm switching to the other Doctor!
