Yea you can’t change their mind. They’re the worst. Find someone else that is willing to help. I’m sorry and good luck!

Yes!! I went to a different doctor and made sure that I told the doc that if they were unwilling to be proactive in helping me then I will go elsewhere. I was lucky to find a good one finally!! It is so depressing and so demeaning and demoralizing the way some doctors treat people.

I’ve had some bad drs but you have to keep looking! I finally found an awesome dr and have been with over 10 years. She really understands my disease 💕
