Those are the exact emotions I feel like when I have to go to my own clinic. The past 2 years I have been feeling symptoms of whatever mystery is going on in my body, researching what it could possibly be on mayoclinic.com or webmd, posting on here to see if anyone else has the same issue or have had the same issues in the past, then I present the diagnosis to the doctor who always seems to agree THEN treat.
So I've pretty much been my own CF doctor. It's very discouraging. I've been suffering from breathing difficulties for weeks and they just put me on IV's again after a brief break from my previous 8 week stint. I posted on here the other day asking about breathing difficulty at night, and after someone stated they have had the same in the past and suggested an oxygen test at night. I presented it to my doctor and THEN he ordered it. He would not have ordered it otherwise, even after I presented the same symptoms to him last week.
It's really an awful feeling. Thank you SO much for your help!
