my first with a mental doctor was a negative one

[RAY]

I was very upset by how this mental doctor treated me by her manners and not understanding my issues are severe depression ptsd also with many health problems. then she prescript's a drug i can't really take due i get overheated by my health problems and my heart condition now getting worse. she is one i will not go back to plus i not taking that drug. here in southeast Wisconsin there are hardly any gender friendly doctors to go to. I facing more tiredness plus with degenerative bone disease my other doctor put me on vit d but i want to return to vit d 3 at max levels it help a lot. i am on so many meds i not really sure i can be given hrt meds at low doses. i would like more of a female appearance. i look like my mother which does help. but i am tired being called sir all the time too. i grow out my hair to shoulder length. i have my skin clean up a bit by derm drugs. i feel just so mad at times.

Hey hi Ray. What do you want to happen next?

[justmeinoz]

Did you tell her you had health problems that are contraindications for the drug she prescribed?  Did you tell her firmly just what your issues were?  Did you aske her if she has dealt with TS clients before, and what her knowledge is?  If she is any good she will go and research it.  My last two did.
Sometimes health professionals expect their patients to give them a lot of information without having to ask too many questions.  I'd go back and tell why you are not satisfied with her consultation, and what you want from her. 
You are the one paying so if she doesn't listen to that, then you can really get stuck into her with a clear conscience.

I brought many medical records plus told her what my conditions were. We had only one hour. The first 30 minutes were taken up by nurse to go over blood pressure checks etc... and medical problems, medications i am taking which is a lot due to many health problems. She is not very open to talk with she does deal with gender issue patients but not many. I am on medicaid title 19 due to my health issues. She was telling me not talking with me. I found as a former pre med student her to be lacking a sense of compassion with patients such as myself. I will not waste another visit talking to her. I call their office after I did research showing this medication can cause major side effects. I may have lupus again I going to ask my other primary doctor to order test such ANA plus to see if I do . I am going to see a endgo doctor soon plus several other doctors. My health has really nose dive in the last  four years. I just going to have endure for now. I feel that time is running out for me. I trying to live one day at a time. I am to sick some days to anything that's partly why I not in school right now. After three years of pushing myself through school despite being sick and getting sicker. I been denied SSS disability credits expired not worked in last three years. I need more than 12 visits for counseling my problems are just getting worse not better. I usually don't people my problems try to fake being ok. I trying to transfer to a new school in the Fall. I very tired, unhappy. Compared to two years ago very much holding my own till my health went south July 2010 nearly died never come back from health the same. There are great people here at Susan's place  it is a wonderfully place to find information and exchange views,thoughts,talks, and ideas with others facing similar issues.
