Hey everyone...
I'm tired of settling for a primary doctor who laughs at my disease...unfortunately I'm in an HMO which means I have to see my current horrendously ignorant (about everything) PCP every time I need a referral - and even then she doesn't get it right! I went in telling her I've had disabling GI issues for 2-3 years, she tried to give me nausea medicine - I had to tell her no, I need a referral to a GI specialist (who then diagnosed me with Crohn's...not nausea!)
I went in with DEBILITATING back pain, and countered her "come back in 6 months if it's still bothering you" with a request for a PT referral. ETC.
I have yet another referral need, as well as needing my hashimoto's monitored (she doesn't even do a full panel) - kind of used this post as an outlet to vent about her - sorry! ...but what I really meant to post about was just wondering if anyone has a PCP in the area who doesn't need to treat my Lyme or anything, but just needs to respect that I believe I have chronic lyme disease and that I treat the majority of my health issues with alternative methods.
Just wondering if anyone can recommend someone like that - all I really need a PCP for anymore is referrals and testing. Thanks in advance :D
