Like everyone else I would suggest you find a new doctor. I am trained as a nurse and I don't get any more respect from some doctors than you feel you are getting from yours. I actually had a doctor write me up for a psyche exam once because I challenged his authority and told him he was not addressing the question that I asked and requested a thyroid screening. I had been taking thyroid meds all my life and he refused to write me a new script saying that I was just fat and didn't need them. He also told me he was the one with the medical license. When I found a new Dr. she laughed when she saw the write up for the psyche exam explaining that I wasn't the only "female" patient of his that had this request in their files. I do tend to feel that female Doctors are more responsive to females and female issues and I am simply more comfortable with them. The model used for training in the medical field is male. Female issues are less stressed and require extra training. More often than not any issues we might have weather related to female issues or not are written off as hormonal or psychological. That being said you are your own best advocate. If you aren't going to stick your neck out there and stand up for your self no one else will. Also, ask around and get references from others. I found a good Dr locally that is open to homeopathic options as I often have repercussions from synthetic medications. Ann in TN
