...I'm still trying to find a doctor that listens.
Admittedly, I have yet to make an appointment with the one medicaid assigned me to as such, because after 20+ years of being told by doctors I am a lazy, hysterical, hypochondriac fatty, it's HARD to walk into any clinic or doctor's office.
My last psychiatrist (who I thought listened to me until farther into seeing him when suddenly his listening skills vanished*) had me get a hormone panel thing done, and all those results were supposedly normal, but man, the whole Polycystic/Hormone Imbalance things read like a description of me as well for everything from how my periods work (or don't, most months) to my weight issues. (I know I do not exercise due to mental blocks, and veggie-eating also is tough due to my supertasting or psychosomaticwhatsit, but I am not a junk food junkie, nor do I eat more food on average than any skinny as hell friend I've known)
In short. I envy you a bit, and hope it all works out and things get Tracked the Fuck Down. Yay!
*He seemed to listen until I started panicking that it was the Abilify making my creativity go dormant. Then I noticed I'd spend half a visit whimpering about how I couldn't DRAW or be INTERESTED in DRAWING and I thought it was that, and that I wasn't noticing a very marked improvement in anything else either, and he'd nod and then at session end basically say "Well it sounds like you're doing great on the Abilify, here's another prescription sheet! You've improved so much, I'm not sure what else we should or could try, this is working so well!"
