And for the people that here that you keep going back to the doctor for the same thing and aren't magically cured this is the sage advice given:
Are you sure your doctor is knows what is wrong with you? You should be feeling better, here let me give you the number of my doctor I had a really bad flu last month that turned into bronchitis and he made it all better. He should be able to fix you.

People can be stupid and cruel. My SIL was told that her baby died of SIDS because they didn't go to church often enough.

I would love to say to advice givers "Wow, you should be a doctor...only don't go to medical school, they'll just teach you stupid stuff about the human body."

Nah, I'm too nice...

Everyone of you are so right. I have heard them all!
Love the "just get out" or the you look better and walk better you must be better".
And believe me when I went through miscarriages I heard the most in sensitive things.
Enough to make one stay in!
Good thread!

"Oh my heavens you take an awful lot of medication, are you sure you need all of it?".

In my mind I am thinking, I have MS, Epeilepsy. brain tumor, nervepain, headpain, and cognitive problems, just live in my body for a week and then we will have this discussion.

wow that is a whole new level. But maybe you are possessed by a demon I'm sure that I could find some church willing exorcise your demon for the small price of $30,000, no thanks required they are doing it all in the service of making themselves rich at the expense of others...cough I mean God.

If you just had enough faith God would heal you.

And from my pain doctor's nurse, of all people, "you have to control the pain, don't let the pain control you" Sorry, if I could control it I wouldn't be at a pain clinic, the pain would be gone just by me willing it to go away - get real!!

See no what you really need to do to get healed is to find yourself an ex psychiatrist who has become an exorcist. The perfect combination of psychobabble, which all the best doctors agree will magically take away our pain because it is all in our heads, and demonology, so that the demons in us that are causing us to have the faulty belief that we have an actual illness can be gotten rid of.

Hey, would you guys believe my MIL just called and asked me how I made it yesterday? to me that sounded a little more concerned and like she believed my condition.

I mean, usually she asks "How are you "TODAY" like I choose which day I will feel bad and which one I won't / attitude!
