Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I loved this paragraph...it is all so true! I remember 2 years ago, my husband told my brain surgeon (after my surgery) that I was not depressed, nor have I ever been. He told him to stop skating around the questions with BS answers, and take away the pain as promised. The doc than told my husband that I had all of the symptoms for depression...weight loss, diarrhea, change in mood(he had me on meds that literally made me crap myself skinny)...The doc then went on to explain that he did not know if the pain was causing the depression, or the depression was causing the pain. My husband then went off of the deep end and told him that he was going to grab him by the jugular and hang him on the wall...then he would ask him the same question...LOL > How true your last answer was! So few of us have doctors who can > really help us; some assume they are and we are just whining. I told > my internist before I found my rheumy, " If I was *&^%$#@ depressed, > I'd have shot both my ex's and you by now! " That's when he got > scared and really, so did I, because I was SO angry that everyone > said nothing was wrong with me. I'm not a cry baby! Because of this > crap I have a better pain tolerance than most of the population. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
