Hi again Amy, I totally understand how hard it is setting up a blog when you're unwell. Mine's never quite how I want it, but if you need a hand with anything, do give me a shout. x

Hi Greenwords, I'm flattered that you'd like to read my blog - thanks! The only reason it's private at the moment is that I haven't finished setting it up due to ill health (snore). But when it's up and running it'll be open to everybody and I'd be delighted to have you as a reader.
I'm sorry you've been going through it with all this medical stuff.

Hi all, thanks for your comments. It's an interesting dynamic, isn't it? I've had various experiences: some medicos become defensive if someone comes in with you, I guess possibly they feel scrutinised; but then others enjoy interacting with the people who help you on a daily basis, discussing things as a team in a holistic way. And then some can't behave themselves unless you DO

Can't remember if I've commented on your blog before (brain fog...), but I just wanted to know that I enjoy reading your posts. It's sadly amazing how thick-skulled health care professionals can be.

I've been known to hope for a different diagnosis, still do, something treatable would be nice. :)

On doctor's behavior, I've had one that was an utter prick even with my wife there - it seems the extra person only gives some of them manners.

I was pleased to here that your husband accompanied you and gave you the great support. Good on ya, Mr Greenwords!

I would be disappointed, too. Having a different diagnosis could give you effective treatment and/or shortcut to recovery.

Let's hope that there will be something to make us better one day.

Am so glad Dr Hostile had a change of tune, but I wish he had treated you with courtesy in the first place. Thinking of you, honey, glad you don't have the horrid rare thing, but then, as you say, at least it was treatable. x

Bring on the happy!

I sometimes go to doctor appointments with someone who has ME. He tells me that doctors are much less rude to him when I'm there.

What's up with that? Does the presence of a healthy person lend credibility to the sick person? Do the doctors not want witnesses to their rudeness? What?
