Did you follow the trail to the discussion. Our own Dr. Steven Park was the first to respond. How cool is that? An opinion from someone we trust.
I was undiagnosed for many years. I privately suffered and wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
"With a diagnosis, the doctor-patient relationship has direction, a purpose, a common goal. Without it, both the patient and physician are unmoored, cast in a sea of overwhelming and often paralyzing possibilities. "
This is also from the article Shoshin sent us - thanks for the very good read. We've talked before how doctors grasp at the easy way out with dx's of somatization or migraines, instead of keeping at the mystery. Her point is not only does the patient need an answer, so does the doctor.
This might be a very good book to add to my "want to read" list.
be well,
Lulu,
