She's been really nice over the years, but this time it's really strange. They certainly can't take any criticism of other docs. I tried to tell her about my GI but she simply defended him, and has been weird since. The new GI doesn't answer my emails, and right now I am really discouraged. Next December/January I am going to check out other medicare providers. I really am very discouraged.
I am going to write my GI again about this pain now. Wish me luck!
Hurts!

Lesley,
Good luck with trying to communicate with your GI. It is just really, really discouraging to deal with doctors who don't listen, and even if they do listen, put down what you are saying. I wish you could get some response that makes you feel like someone is trying to help you and be your partner in getting better. I've noticed they don't like to get involved in discussing other doctors. Couldn't you try to find a new provider now? I know that it's not easy to find a new doctor, make the switch, and then maybe run into the same problem. I hope you have some luck with the GI and get relief soon.
