Re: How to get dr to listen?

I finally got my.dr to fax a referral to the sleep specialist. I have only talk to an assistant but I'm already so happy. I briefly explained the issues I've had with my dr and he said that it sounds like I was more educated on the subject then him and they are glad I found them bc my dr clearly doe...

Re: How to get dr to listen?

Thanks. I knew I was in trouble when I explained to my Dr that I was getting rls in my arms and he just.looked at me puzzled. It was so disheartening....I actually use a product called back on track calf wraps. They are a ceramic material that originally made horse products and now make them for ppl...

Re: How to get dr to listen?

I talked to a sleep specialist who treats rls in my area and I need to get a referral from my dr....ugh fingers crossed he gives it to me! RLS is a primary sleeping disorder.

Re: How to get dr to listen?

And I get how going into my.Dr after months of not seeing him and asking for a pain pills script looks suspect. And I hate that this one medicine is recently at the center of abusers radar. If I could find something else that works I'm totally ok with that but at this point I feel hopeless.....
