Hi, Any tips for finding the right doctor? I am finding this whole journey so confusing. And the HRT specialists don’t seem to take insurance. 😕

Hi Emma, Did you get tested at an endocrinologist or an HRT specialist? Thanks. I am finding this so confusing. HRT enthusiasts say that endocrinologists tests aren’t sensitive enough but HRT testing and specialists aren’t covered under insurance; at least not any that I have seen. thanks!

I just left the Endodontist, practically in tears - promised myself I wouldn’t cry. I had put in the initial paperwork that I had POTS; he didn’t read it. I had a first appointment and tried to tell him about POTS. All he said was “oh, okay”, and kind of seemed like he was dismissing me. I got to the appointment and explained some things that might affect me. He sort of pretended to listen. Yeah… I just had a root canal without enough novocaine. I told him TWICE that I could feel it, and he gave me this lecture on how vibration can feel like pain. I was getting angrier and angrier. It was PAIN!!! He then purposely didn’t touch the tooth and asked “does this hurt”? The level of arrogance and condescension was alarming. I wouldn’t answer him. He asked two more times and I just said, “is this done yet”? It was horrible. I couldn’t get out fast enough. Now I have a tooth that needs a crown, and he already charged me for the crown but I feel traumatized and so angry at the way I was treated that I can’t go back. POTS patients have trouble getting numb, correct? Shouldn’t he have known this, or stopped the procedure to numb the area more? Im so sick of these g*dd*mn arrogant doctors and dentists! Im so done!!
