I've been reading lots on these forums lately and one thing that struck me is that so many people seem to be on all different types of fancy medications, protocols or other treatments. There are many categories in the treatment part of the forum, none of which I've ever had a doctor discuss with me. So far, in my ten years of being sick, I've only ever had doctors discuss supplement type therapy (B12 injections, tablets for various things my bloods are deficient in like iron and magnesium), antidepressants and psychological therapy, and more recently, GET. I've had doctors say "I don't know what else we can do for you" when I've complained about worsening or continual symptoms.
My most recent doctor seemed good at first, but then she's been so hung up on treating my POTS and sinus type issues that it's hard to talk to her about fatigue. Also she mentioned about the fatigue having possible psychological causes (noooope!) and then the next session, was trying to convince me that GET would be beneficial. So now I'm going to try a new doctor!
Have you tried any other types of treatments? Did doctors prescribe it, or are some of them from natural medicine practitioners? If your doctor prescribed, did they suggest it or did you have to prompt them about it? Did you have to 'shop around' to find a doctor willing to try things?
