Rightly said Sue... The first time i met my doctor, i was literally limping, with a lot of pain in the right hip and this time too i was concerned about my right hip. She told me that i have put on weight (which is a fact) but it seems to me that she has taken that impression of me too. Like you when I go to see a doctor i want him / her to be very specific and I have seen some doctors trying to change the subject or move on when i try to discuss the topic in detail. Then i will get compliments (or so one would think) that "you know you should have been a doctor". Its as if you are not supposed to know well about your disease. Also, there are others who tend to advice you not to read too much about your disease over the internet, as if we can't take it.
