3 months.

Four years or so of hearing "you are severly depressed and just don't know it." Finally had to actually go to a psychiatrist so they could tell me I'm definitely NOT depressed, and then the other doctors started actually listening.

oh yeah ive heard that befor! its all in your head is another one.

That is was I heard from my doctors.

14 years. From '84 to '98 in pain that was progressively getting worse. I honestly thought I had bone cancer the pain was so bad. It was a relief to finally get diagnosed. The pain is still here but at least i have a name for it now.

I know how you feel I have been in so much pain and they tell me I am depressed also. How do I ask a doctor on here or post my own thread?

I think there is a doctor question and answer forum for asking a doctor questions.. not sure as I haven't had time to investigate this site yet.

actually the doctor q and a is forum specific. i think that our doctor question is currently being worked on. ill see what i can find out. usually the button to post a doctor question is right next to the post a reply/new topic button.

I can never click on the link to post my question to a doctor

yeah, it took me 7 yrs so i feel for you, seriously HANG IN THERE, write down allllll the symptoms see every doc u can until you are satisfied...they will tell you over and over and over you are fine...and you look fine....but once you get diagnosed even if you arent treated you will feel tons better!

and dont be afraid to say all your symptoms...cause i was and thats y it took so long

there are oly a certain amount of questions accepted per day. when that quota is reached you cant post a question any more. we are based in europe so youd have to ask early in the morning.
