i've been in the same medical care group for about 10 or more years - part of the d.i.d. is that i can't remember the past 10 years clearly.
for many years i had severe migraines, fibromyalgia, severe depression and a whole bunch of petty junk that was always going on. i was also a pain-pill addict also.
i have always had a tendency to tell the truth and take the consequences because, i have no logical idea why i do that. it is sort of stupid sometimes. i have been treated like the village idiot, a drug seeker, middle-aged weakling and like a person who is suffering and rarely like someone thought i was brave to keep going.
my current family med. doc. knows the basics, treats me decently and doesn't ever act like i am an idiot. he's one of my heroes. i do not have many of those.
i'll be honest, my mom died of breast cancer 16 years ago and i still can't make myself do a gyn checkup. i even know how stupid that behavior is but i just can't do it. maybe this year.
thank you for sharing "myself" if you are still reading here!
