Don't ever let that go retire , I just changed go after the old one kept me waiting for over an hour after my appointment time

you really are,c-mum. i adore my GP,but getting in to see him ain't easy. 3 weeks minimum,generally,or he'll meet you at the ER,if necessary.  i was able to get in to see my surgeon faster than that. 

what's it like to see the eye doc,or the dentist,where you are?

for me,dentist is 6 weeks,eye doctor,3 months. and that's with excellent insurance. 

of course,you don't have to answer,i'm just curious. 🙂

Bright side kilroy, the super nasties are being ruled out.

Good luck.

That's what I jeep telling myself it's a step forward and the Sid effects of the drugs are worth it if the end is a bearable life

[sineaterdoodah]

Great the urologist that they made me say now that I don't have fibromyalgia as he can touch me with out it hurting, so now I'm back to where I was with no answers so over dr.s why don't they take me out back and shoot me , it would be much less frustrating

{{kilroy}},that's just unbelievable!!!! i'm so sorry... i hope you get the help you deserve soon.

Kilroy, no matter what the tag says, if the meds are helping then really that's what is mostly important. Eventually you will get a diagnosis.

At least you can take the meds and get relief.

Don't let it get you down. 

Can I ask what your age is kilroy.

[kilroy_is_here]

I'm 47 .
I have got the point where I'm sick of wasting my time and money every time I go see these dr.s it's about $400 I fork out for very little result , I think I'm at th point where I just give in , I think I'm am going to cancel all up and coming appointments ,stop wasting my money on drugs that don't do enough to warrant the cost and just live with it and give up trying to work out what it is, I have no faith in drs anymore
