Shebo,

Aside from perhaps advising it's time to find another PM, other doctors also, take nothing we say very seriously.

I have a difficult time with anesthesia. My blood pressure drops to very dangerous levels. Though I advise everyone of this problem, including the anesthesiologist, I'm still not taken seriously. Three years ago, after a routine procedure, my blood pressure dropped to very dangerous levels. Last year I was much more forceful, demanding action - and got it.

Shebo, if your doctor isn't listening to you, regardless of why, you're not getting the care and meds you need. I don't know what it would take for this doctor to hear your words but how much better might you be feeling if, because you were listened to, your meds were changed or ?????

When your doctor becomes too busy to listen or too jaded, find someone else. There are plenty of doctors out there who will listen and do care.

Good luck, Dale
