I've been dealing with health problems and that has been the main reason for me wanting to CTB. I also have an impossible time with doctors. It's just a 15 minute appointment and they brush you off. I have no idea how to find any good ones that can actually help. It seems like so many medications are toxic anyway, it makes me feel hopeless. I don't know if it's because I have Medicaid or what , making it worse too. I've also seen older doctors in hopes they'd be more aware of what's going on with me. Does anyone who's been through it have advice?

Could you elaborate more on it? Do you have mental or somatic health issues? I know more facts on the former one.

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. Am in a similar boat myself and tried over two dozen medications, most of my issues do not show up on scans or blood tests and thus doctors are pretty much useless and cannot do anything except reccomended the same psych medications which do nothing, or they invalidate my pain.

Depending on your illness, you may find better suggestions in support groups for people with the same ailment, as many of them have also been failed by doctors and have had to go through a lot of trial and error to find anything that can successfully keep their symptoms at bay.

I'm not really sure what's wrong with me right now, limbs constantly falling asleep, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue , hair loss, period stopped are some of my symptoms. I had blood work done and nothing significant came up. Are you diagnosed? How did you go about getting ur diagnosis

Sorry I don't know much about that. And I am living in another country.

I had to meet many psychiatrist before I found someone who was competent and friendly. I kept trying it was frustrating but I am glad with my current one. It took a lot of energy but it was worth it.
Sorry I cannot help you more.
