Starting Over?

    Today started off VERY early. Since the relocation company has not delivered my car yet I had to take J to work at 6:20ish. He likes to be early. M and I came back and got ready for an appointment with a new doctor. I find the place and it has a Hawaiian name. Great, everyone has a catchy name here even the doctor. As I was getting ready to fill out the forms, I asked the receptionist/nurse if he wanted to make a copy of my lab results. He said it wasn't necessary. RED FLAG!! Why wouldn't it be necessary? The doctor comes in and he starts making comments about all of the medications and questioning me. I knew this was coming. I tell him on my list of medications the one from Dr.K.G. were the ones I need him to take care of. He starts questioning all of the Rx's that the other specialists gave me. I explain to him that I try to manage the pain at home. Also my past experiences, and why I do not go to the ER when I'm in pain. He seems to disagree. I should go to the ER when I'm in pain and get morphine or nerve blocks. I re looked at the degrees on the wall and do not notice anything for neurology. After glancing over my past lab tests he said well lets order everything to see where you are now. CBC, Vit D level, Tegretol Level, Liver and Kidney function. He wasn't concerned about the past tests, the doctors notes, or MRI results. As I was sitting in the hall waiting for him to print everything out, tears were in my eyes. I had asked him in the room, "Is this all too much for you?". Maybe he took it as a challenge. WHATEVER!!!! I cried all the way to pick J up. We had a nice lunch at Whole Foods, and J suggested that maybe I try somewhere else. I'm chalking this one up as a bad day. It's 2:21 Las Vegas time and I'm going to just lay my head back on my pillow.Today started off VERY early.
