I used to think my Dr. was my hero, he cured me from cervical dysplasia, and was so sweet and nice. Then I started nbe, and through this forum and other resources, I found out that my estrogen dominance could actually have been the cause of it all. So, yes, he helped me by stopping the dysplasia. But he never once offered to tell me what might have caused it, or asked about my symptoms, or told me how to avoid it. Things that I complained about to him that were bothering me so badly, like cysts in my breasts, he told me that things would get worse until I reached menopause. Then, everything would get better by itself. He was brushing me off. I'd give anything to have known then, what I know now. Hormones are dangerous, your Dr. was right. The least she should have done was check your levels instead of brushing you off. My Dr. could have listened to my symptoms, checked my levels and saved me the trouble of treatment. But that would not have been as profitable, I guess. Another Dr. (cardiologist) suggested a beta blocker for my heart palpitations. I refused and he said, "You'll be back when they get bad enough." I said, "I doubt it." Then he suggested a pacemaker! I was 40 yrs old! I walked out and never looked back. And guess what??!! The palpitaions are gone. My hormones are more balanced by what I've learned here.
I'm not saying all of them are bad, but I wish more of them would share more knowledge with their patients instead of signing our charts and sending us up front to the payment window.
