What a Difference a Doctor Makes

Tweet

I saw my new doctor today. I like him very much. He is the one that prescribed me the "wakefulness" medication for Sleep Apnea so I wouldn't be sleeping 16 hours a day. Today was the follow-up. Now we're addressing new things. He thinks I have had a hormonal imbalance for decades that has gone undiagnosed and untreated causing me problems for which I'm taking medication thinking they were DIFFERENT problems. He's stopping one of my meds and probably going to stop another one in 60 days. He's also eyeing stopping 2 more meds. I'm ecstatic! I never wanted to be on this many drugs. He said, "Why do you think you have XYZ?" and I showed him the report from the prior doctor saying I had "XYZ" and he said - "That doctor is wrong." Then he explained medically/scientifically why the other doctor is wrong and what the REAL problem is. I can't say enough good things about this new doctor. I think he's finally going to "fix" me.
