Frustrated with Chronic Pain Diagnosis

✋

I had this issue for years until recently. I moved and got a new doctor who ran every test she could to rule everything out. I just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia after 6 years of suffering.

YES they just give me pain meds instead of finding the source of the problem. and those pain meds make me feel even worse than i felt with the migraine. it is bs

I have this issue with doctors for a different problem. Honestly, it would be fine if I felt like they were trying or cared, but it doesn’t feel that way at all. I had one doctor disregard the symptoms I was listening and interrupt me when I was trying to explain why I felt something was wrong. It’s important to understand that everyone is human and makes mistakes/might not know everything but I feel like this shouldn’t apply to the doctors that aren’t trying/don’t show that they care. If the psychiatrist thinks it’s all in your head, I really suggest finding someone different

I had a psychiatrist before my current one that was like that. I go through the VA Hospital and I called them up and said I need a new one bc the current one has no personality, is over medicating me and thinks im full of it. For crying out loud I have PTSD and Bipolar how am I faking it, well she got fired and I now got an amazing psychiatrist.
