If they are gonna lie to us, lie to them
I’m trying to find an in-network doctor that won’t tell me to go away until I come back when I haven’t had a period for at least 12 months. Even though it’s irregular AF and having the laundry list of symptoms. I realized at 46, I’m old enough for them to believe me when I just say I haven’t had a period in over 12 months. Fuck it. Why not? If I have to lie to get what I need, I’m just gonna do it and see what happens. I strongly believe that you should never lie to your doctor, but in some situations it’s warranted. I haven’t slept for more than a few hours for several nights in a row and I can’t keep living like this, not treating it is worse than doing nothing, right?? I’ve even had to go to the ER from having 0 sleep for over 72 hours twice since the perimenopause symptoms and my sleeping meds suddenly stopped working. Haven’t found something that does. The last time I went to the hospital they wrote a script for a mild antihistamine and sent me away. When they discharged me I was in an even worse state than when they admitted me! I feel like a can being kicked down the road and I’m too tired to keep going with this.
