I had built up an image of this one nephrologist.
One of only two I had seen. I could go back to him still, but I am still having very very hurt feelings. The last one I saw, well she was not in my opinion very good to say it as nicely as possible.
My shall we say ex-nephrologist in a way broke my heart. I am married and in love with my hubby, and it has nothing to do with it. I searched and searched high and low online trying to find someone who knew about electrolytes and was well versed with the literature. Of all the other doctors I thought could help me, I still feel that he was my last hope. He had written research for books and such on different things such as magnesium and potassium. I was so hoping he would help me. But the second appt. I had with him, his pat assumptions and somewhat shall we say rude and argumentative behaviour caused me to never go back for further testing after I had cut down on my sodium and was still getting sick and weak.
(an abnormal 24 hour test showing wasting of things). I am ok, but yesterday I was online searching for his research and found he had started a blog even. He is into patients supposedly being part of their treatment, but I feel like he just saw a fat, crazy sick girl that he did not really believe. I am more honest than anyone else I know. SO honest, that I have been shunned in life because of my honesty.I just wish he could help me find out what is wrong, because he has the brains for it.
