[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Going through something similar with testing involved and now in the midst of the waiting game.

Do you feel like your OBGYN is on the ball and helpful? If not, take your records and get a second opinion for peace of mind.[b] If you think you’ve been with your docs, psychiatrist included, for a long time and they’ve taken you as far as you can go, maybe move on to new ones. Unlike previous generations, we have access to more information; the family doctor down the street no longer must be the final word. I think, like with any other relationship, we can get into ruts with our providers.

Also, it’s horrible to think about worst case scenarios, but find ways to feel empowered. Sometimes I feel like I’ve the situation when you. learned the hard way about taking charge of my medical needs myself— that includes taking a deep breath, letting go of (some) of the panic, and seeking the best resources. As parents we seek the best for our kids but sometimes fail to do the same for ourselves. I also think the state of the medical system in this country can leave many of us feeling helpless.

So, deep breath. One day at a time. Perimenopause sucks, and doctors don’t even seem to have good answers other than, “that’s just how it is. Take a pill.”[/quote]

You don't live in the DMV do you?

Moving on from our providers is very, very difficult. Good luck finding a good psychiatrist who is taking new patients. [/quote]
