I tend to go back an forth between what's worse, pharma or doctors. It doesn't matter in your case though because you found the best one possible for your situation. Is she a fundamentalist? When you said "quacks" I was reminded of horrible ones I've had make me so sick with all of these meds and then after having a few that couldn't figure it out, when the first thing most would do is check their patients known medications!
So you have your Angel and I was stuck with Satan's little helpers. No really, I'm happy you found her and those chronic illnesses have somewhat abated. No wonder you refer to her as an Angel! I do think that one of my doctor's really tried but what's weird is even after I pointed it out to him (serotonin toxicity with spikes and lows) that he was as dumb as a box of rocks. By that time I had been on all three meds for at least ten years (one of them was for all practical purposes a high dose opiate) and he was going to cold turkey me off of them ALL?? I told him he was crazy and that I'd certainly die before my third day was complete by blowing my head off.
You seem to really have it together though and that you would not want to ctb anymore. So can I guess correctly that your doctor and wife knows that you at least have SI? I hate to think that all of this time spent engaging with others and rarely mentioning your reasons for being here, that you would leave us at any time. It's something I've been wanting to ask but unsure how to approach it.
