I had a good long talk with my bp doctor yesterday, and he basically told me he thinks I'm not doing as well as I could be.
He said he's pretty much done all he can do for me. So he recommended I see a specialist at one of the major teaching hospitals (out of town.)
I was surprised to hear him say this, but I guess I should be thankful he's being honest with me. He's tried me on so many different medicines, and I've had to discontinue each one because of the side effects. It seems like if there is a RARE side effect of a drug, I always get it! He says he's never seen anyone so sensitive to medication.
I left feeling very down. I don't want to switch doctors. I have been seeing this one for the past 3 years.
He wants me to think about it and come back to see him in 4 weeks. Now I am just going to worry about it for the next month!
