Yes Nicole you definately have to take your own medical circumstances and educate yourself on what it is that is going on with you. Everyone is different. I have a 5 yr old daughter and we have almost had to educate her pediatrician about what is going on with her. It is very difficult to get the proper diagnosis since she is a young child. I have to be her advocate. I am glad to here you are doing better in regards to your BP problems. Some doctors don't like the fact that you are educated in what is going on with you. Some feel that because you are not a medical doctor you don't know what you are talking about. What these doctors fail to realize is that you have the information highway called the internet where you can obtain a wealth of information about your problem and many others that affect us. My daughter's pediatrician did not even realize that use of respirdal can and does cause Tardive Dyskinesia. Can you imagine. We were the ones who had to tell him what was going on with her. Who is the educator now. Me I guess. Don't take any thing lying down and accept what your doctor tells you as the gospel. Medical science is all about opinions when there are no conclusive tests that can prove what is happening with your mental illness. We have to rely on how we feel and what we know. Good luck and you are in my thoughts. Mama Bear
