Lost all faith in any doctors!!!!!

0 Recommendations

Okay, I went to see my doctor today and I feel like she doesn't care. I watch kids at my house to make money so I can be home when I don't feel well and can somewhat relax. I have 4 kids at my house all day non of which are mine. She did not like the fact that I brought them. She always gets mad. I am thinking, what else am I supposed to do? She was rude and I felt like she didn't listen. She looked at my legs and told me I wasn't that swollen...... WTF?!?!? My eyelids have ROLLS on them because they are so swollen, and that was at 2 in the afternoon. Then she proceeds to tell me that I did not need potassium with my lasix... excuse me? Every time I take them I take the potassium, and I have almost died once, and got very ill once from low potassium. So, why the change? She wants me to go back on steroids. I say.... HELL no. I do not want to be on steroids ever again. Every time I go on them I am on them for longer than they say and I relapse right away. So, I say no. The doctor can't even decide if she thinks I have FSGS, or MCD. I give up, I don't think there is a good doctor out there. I really hope this guy I am going to see in Aug has some answers. I am just tired of not being listened to and being treated like they know how I feel..... They have no clue. I feel like crap all of the time. I've just given up, I just want a doctor to listen and really take it in and think. I feel like they have a preconceived idea of what is wrong with me and what they want to do. So, when I do talk and tell them it is in one ear and out the other. I am just fed up. I started crying to my boyfriend when he got home, I am tired of it. He get so mad. He thinks I should switch, and she is my second nephrologist in a year and a half. The first one nearly killed me, and oh what do you know didn't listen. I am just fed up. Does everyone have this much trouble with their doctors? Am I the only one that feels this way? Okay, I think I am done now..... just feel stuck!
