I have had nothing but horrible experiencing with doctors and GI specialists. One tells me to take this and eat this and the other tells me this is wrong take this and eat this, then the other gives me hell for doing what that one says and then I am looked at like I am making it all up. I have crohns, IBS and GERD. I suffer constantly with one or the other. This makes it difficult to eat and treat. I am sick of being tossed around and made to feel like I am "pretending, over exaggerating, stupid, small and not cooperating". Where is the compassion, and why don't they listen? I know my body better than anyone! I have lost faith and trust in all of them. I am sick of intrusive almost abusive examinations. The last words of the NEW female GI I just saw "well I don't know if I will take your case and if we can't find a solution you will have to suck it up and live with it". Also....she made the error of saying "oh you don't have cronhs"...argued with me...causing me great distress...and then agreed she read the letter wrong. No apology, no warmth...just one big cold power trip. I am feeling pretty depressed over this treatment and hopelessness...bad enough I have these diagnosis.View Thread
