Unfortunately, in this day and age, doctors often need to be affronted and put back on a human level before they can REALLY treat YOU as an individual - not a symptom.
As with my friend, you may have the unfortunate task of years and years for visiting/conferring with doctors and specialists before one actually DOES listen to YOU and what YOU are saying/feeling. I think doctors have forgotten that we are all individuals, and deserve to be treated as such.
Good luck in your endeavers.
I guess this can go out as advice to others, as well, as myself. Try to find a hormone specialist who will take the time and work with you and isn't so eager to just write out a prescritpion!
