I was just diagnose last week with ovarian cysts and fibroid. Well, that's nice, but I really don't know what that means. The only thing I know about cysts is they seem to happen a lot and they can happen in multiple places, I mean my brother had a cyst on his ear. I guess this could be a good thing since I can't really freaked out over this. it is not like someone just dropped the cancer bomb (that already happened once before) I have looked it up and found very conflicting things. one site list different kinds of cysts but nothing on fibroid. when I looked them up together I found very little. I did find some freaked out people and a site for people with cancer. so were to now, I continue my search for some answers to the problems that are plaguing me and staring to feel a little like a failure because I don't know enough about health issues to know whether I should be worried or not. To top this off everyone as my doctors office has been treating me like I should know what is going on. like everyone took biology in high school and there is the Internet so everyone should know enough to talk to their doc. like they themselves were in the medical field. at least this is how I feel their think. I even saw a list of things your Doctor wished we knew. well how about the top things your patents wished you realized.
1) We are not all in the medical field. I am not going to school for anything related to medicine.
2) We all can not keep up with all the new conditions you keep coming up with. I have never heard of half the things they throw at me. I never herd of Plantar fasciitis but he diagnosed both me and my son with it. I don't think these conditions are fake (at least not all of them) but some of them feel like designer diseases made to give a purpose for designer drugs.
3) When you sit us down to discus treatment options, give us options, don't just walk in and tell us what WE are going to do.
4) Don't assume we can or will keep track of the medication we take. I on now on 6 different things and cant pronounce half of them, I have know clue how many mg. I take of each and even if I did they keep changing. you what me to tell you all this info when I came in with an ear infection. I can hardly remember my own address with an ear infection.
