I feel cheated!

Sorry this is more of a rant of something I've seen lately than anything else; not meant to offend anyone but I have a HUGE issue with something and no I'm not dissing MH - I just get frustrated with it sometimes...esp the lack of edit button lol

2 or 3 times in the past months I've seen a doctor answer in this forum - normally they answer a new member and they won't address those posters who have been here many for years who have legitmate concerns and questions!  how do they pick and choose what questions to be answered? I've tried to see what they answer hoping it's something that may relate to others who post with questions also.

sorry, it may be the pain from my spine talking or the irritability of knowing there IS a doctor here who can answer questions...I've asked questions in the expert forum and noticed for a few weeks doctors there also didn't answer and left many unanswered.

hate to be a nuisance sorry

Have you tried the heart disease expert forum? The dr there did give me alot of useful info but my cardiologist just dismissed it - so i'm on to another cardiologist at a teaching univeristy that my insurance will cover until I get new insurance or can afford the cost of Vanderbilt CC or Mayo Clinic.

The dr's in the expert forum have so many questions and I've suggested a sticky Q&A in this forum so some of the new people posting could read the FAQ's and see the answers from doctors, but that may be too much to implement.  I've seen many questions go unanswered; then they will pick up a few days later ignoring the previous posts...when it started happening in this forum I started to wonder why.

I should have worded the topic differently - another major flaw...but if we had an edit button I could have edited it.... LOL [beats the dead horse]

I don't get answers either - and also usually not from fellow sufferers. Dunno? haven't offended anybody; maybe my problems are too unusual. I know how you feel.

This wasn't really about me as I stated, it's frustrating that a doctor comes in a patient to patient forum and answers some person that's only just registered asked instead of others...which is bound to make some waves...I was just questioning WHY do that when there are those who have been here years and have valid questions yet they aren't answered.

Doctor's who treat me in person can't even figure out what's wrong with me; how would I ever expect a doctor who's not seen me to do it? The CC dr did give me some info for my cardiologist about sarcoidoisis & amloydosis; who laughed and said you don't have that without even checking or exploring them - and basically said patients shouldn't listen to the advice we get here from the experts ("internet doctors")

I can't go to CC or Mayo, Vanderbilt or anywhere else now, financially it's a struggle to even pay for my medical insurance ($352) and meds ($500) because now I don't work at all. I've been fighting disability since surgery but they tell me I'm fine and take a taxi to work since I can't drive. Plus with all the other tests & doctors things I've had in 2011, I've used all my family savings - $7,000 out of pocket on top of insurance premiums so far.

I have a weird sense of humor - some get it some don't - normally I'm not serious and I guess I think others can "read" between the lines and see the humor - another major fault of mine...I'm on a roll here today I guess...

I'm confused though...never said I was leaving; I was joking with curmudgen about going back to my corner to hide...jokingly - sorry takes forever to type now and to explain every joking thing I say will be hard so I'll keep it out of replies :P
