Oh I think half of my problems right now are more doctor than anything else. I was going to find a new one but she and I had a talk and I felt marginally better. At least until the next time I saw her. I have a doc picked out to call tomorrow actually. He is a primary care physician and a pulmonary specialist. I have anxiety attacks though which some probably have heard me talk about, so its really hard staying focused and not letting it carry me away. The doctor knows this and yet she refuses information and referral.
I do have a history of them. Usually not as severe as I had the month before the ct scan but.....My husband thinks its because I was sick. They actually had considered checking my chest because I was so deeply congested and wheezing. I also have a history of asthmatic brochitis. I just keep praying and keep telling the anxiety to shut up. This doctor thing just is very frustrating. Its so hard to find a good one. I just had a baby and had the worst care I ever recieved from a doctor I have known for almost 10 years. Never had an issue before. This time so many things were not done. I ended up having stuff go untreated and unmentioned until I got my medical report. Its just incredibly frustrating to deal with doctors. I am so close to telling my pediatrician he will need to become my doctor too. He is the only doctor I find competent anymore.
I just read the link for the histoplasmosis. WOW Ok so I am going to switch doctors if she refuses a referral to the pulmonologist. I asked her to test for it and she said there was no need. But right before the ct scan I had most of this. They said flu at first, maybe the asthmatic brochitis again, they even considered scanning my lung for fluid. I complained of severe joint pain and they said it was just because I was anxious. I was given an antibiotic because an x ray did show inflamation around my lungs but no fluid and the joint pain and fever went away. I tell you its all about crappy doctors.
