Tired..


So.. my grandparents out in california (about 2000 miles away from me for you australlians here!) have gotten their doctor to get involved in my case.  because... and i quote.. "Dr Hoang is a genius.  he's one of the smartest men i've ever met.  he always figures out what's wrong" he's a doctor of holistic medicine.  what ever that crap is, but anyway ran a few tests and was like "regardless of what these tests show i want to start treatment".  and i thought to myself.. he wants to start treatment... without having a diagnosis.  and.. the treatment he wanted to do was some holistic crap, with like alkaline water and toxin binding or whatever and i was like.. uhm, "i would like you to call my doctor and tell him what you want to do make sure it's okay with him".  guy flipped the shit like "i dont have time to be calling other doctors when their not gonna have any idea what i'm talking  about!" and my grand parents were like "JAY!? what's going on with you and doctor hoang!?!?" and i'm like. "grandpa.. the guy is a thousand miles away, on the other freaking side of the country.  i'm not going to start any treatment without my doctors here consenting" so i sent him an email today saying "look this has gone on for so long, i am no longer willing to take ANY medications or supplements for fear of skewing my tests results.  I am refusing any treatment. i dont care i'll suffer if it means getting a diagnosis tomorrow." he hasnt responded. i've never had drama with a doctor before. lol.. guy is a quack.  totally fits with my grandparents style though.  anyway his miraculous solution to my problem was E2 water.  and i was like.. uhm.. no. DIAGNOSIS FIRST. THEN TREATMENT.

idiot.

Jas as hard as it is, don't be so harsh on holistic approaches, some are very good. While I don't agree on starting treatment when this doctor has never seen you as a patient, (plus sounds like he has a bit of an anger problem  Wink) I do belief some holistic medicine works, depending on the doctor, not all are quacks   Big Grin

The alkaline factor is rather interesting, if you learn more about it.. While holistic approaches haven't cured me or given a diagnosis some treatments have given some relief and some have helped the stress levels.

If you're not happy to see this Doctor, by all means SAY NO, but after all this time and no luck with traditional medicine, I say there's no harm in trying

Well, its not that i'm knocking the holistic approach.  because i do think it could help.  but i was just mad that after i sat there going over my whole case explaining my giant list of symptoms his solution is a special water that i can get online.  i was just like.. really? thats what you're advice is?  And even after the tests came back negative for what it's supposed to treat?

anyway, i want a diagnosis, and he keeps telling me to take all these different supplements, and i keep telling him.. i dont want a treatment that can potentially change my test results, that my doctors here dont even know about or how they can affect the results.  I told him "please, just focus on diagnosing me, then we'll worry aobut treatment"

i know he's a smart guy, he's got good ideas, i just want him to stop trying to treat me! my doctors dont know what his treatment will do and i need a diagnosis first!

When all else fails, play dead!


What is E2 water?
If water was a problem I would've expected you to die of dehydration already!

When I was seeing my herbalist ages ago Jas.............
He always wanted to be kept updated on tests and procedures I was having so he could adjust or eliminate the products I was using so they didn't interfer with what Doctors were doing so I can feel your frustrations...I don't think this one is much chop...
