Not bad for today. I was out yesterday seeing a new endocrinologist ... going out is bad enough, seeing a new doctor is always worse. This doctor started talking about BMI bullshit so I already know what a waste of time this will be. Whatever. Doctors are so useless these days. All I need are my meds to continue to be refilled. I don't need to put up with additional nonsense. I know how to take care of my health.
One of the things that bothers me most about doctors is the bias and assumptions they make about me. I literally have BINDERS of data on my stress, my sleep, my diet, my exercise, my body scans, blood pressure, you name it ... I have been tracking my body info for well over 20+ years but none of the "apps" my health providers use are compatible with the stuff I use, so they make assumptions that I know nothing about my own body or my health. They assume I am doing nothing and know nothing.

@thewebrecluse I don’t know where you live but here is Southern California I found a business that sells herbs and things like that , they go to Mexico too and they bring medicine you need , it is under the table obviously but I used to buy from them and many people too , the system is broken and needs replacing but they won’t do it.
@Jorro I can take care of myself for the most part and have long before I even had insurance. Doctors have never been helpful and half of them don't really care about the needs of their patients. I do just fine but there are some meds I do actually need so I have to put up with at least one doctor. Endocrine ... I can do without. I'll find a new one or just take care of myself. I've done it for decades.
@thewebrecluse I’m in the same situation but I don’t have big issues, and that helps .
@Jorro I have a few big issues which is why I need one doctor and that one I have is great. She's Black and an osteopathic doctor. Perfect for me. She listens, she likes my data, and she trusts my own knowledge about my body. Endocrine are notoriously racist and fatist especially the MDs. I think I can do fine without one but I will look for a nurse practitioner and see if I land on someone better. If not, I'll be on my own.
@Jorro Always those first which is how I got so far without doctors.
@thewebrecluse I know !!
@thewebrecluse good luck !! I hope you find a good doctor , the system is so bad , since I’m not familiar with the problems you have maybe this might be a bad advice, have you tried natural remedies?
