Every time I have to go to the doctor I leave feeling worse than when I went in.

“You just need to lose weight”

“A sleep study will tell you why you are tired.”

“Well, I will look into this but I think you are wrong.”

"Have you tried medication for sleep?’

“All your test are normal.”

I finally today yelled at my doctor. “I am not tired, I am not sleepy, I want to be able to go for a bike ride, or a walk. I can’t wash dishes without having to take a break. I can’t take a shower without a shower chair. I can’t walk around to block without feeling like I am going to pass out. Does that sound like a sleep issue?”

He admitted that it did not. I had to quit my job this week, I have not been seriously unemployed sense I was 14. I know it could be worse, and I know this pity party mood that I am in right now it because of going to the doctor and that tomorrow I will wake up in a better mood.

So thank you for letting me rant.
