I have a copy of that book (Screaming To Be Heard). I found it very validating, and it helped put the pieces together of what was happening to me (although the stress connection wasn’t really explained well). I think my GP prefers I see my pdoc because she views psychiatric drugs as getting to the route of the problem instead of merely suppressing symptoms. I just want whatever works. I know I should be more assertive, but everything keeps backfiring on me and lately I’ve given up even trying – hopefully I’ll request that estrogen prescription next pdoc appointment though. Thanks for the well-wishes.

> Actually your list of symptoms sound very much like the book I'm reading now- and it just irks me that your GP dismisses your symptoms as somatic. I wish I could give you answers, but it is difficult to isolate causes when your medical care is so poor. Does it help to know you're not alone, and perhaps may be in a position to determine what exactly is wrong sometime in the near future? I wish you only the best, and please cling to the hope that someone will be willing to help you. Just keep looking for answers and take care of yourself- Judy
