At least then I can research all the possibiities and see which one fits more. Or something like that..lol. I had been given so many different "lables" back in my "pre-diagnosed" days of lupus. Remember when my leg was paralyzed and you so lovingly gave me a new nickname (gimpy)? You wouldn't believe all the things they told me I had then! That is the kind of answer I like to get.

How do you REALLY feel about your doctors?? :) I can think of a few times that my own doc has said something that made me suspect that he was saying that just to cover his ass. It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that there are many doctors who will lean to the most negative side of a diagnosis in order to make sure they've forewarned their patient just in case. The doctor I have now (not that I really have a primary care physician, so I should clarify that by saying: "the last doctor I saw") will at least say, "I have no idea what the problem is," rather than put any sort of label on it. So now I get the... it could be this or that or the other" kind of answers. Wait... is that even an ANSWER??? So. How do you REALLY feel about your doctors?? :)
