The problem at the moment is.. health care. I miss Madigan hospital and my PCM clinic a lot! Since getting here, getting an appointment is seriously impossible. I am on Prime, so I don't have a lot of options. I get an appointment, I go, and hope to God that they actually do what is needed. If not, I have to struggle to get yet another appointment. I talked to my now current PCM about getting a referral to an Endocrinologist for my condition. He didn't even understand that women my age could have such a thing. He asked me what the risks were and symptoms. I am fully aware that not all doctors know fairly common conditions, but that freaked me out. I don't want a doctor that doesn't even understand a huge part of me at all. I got the referral and tried to call to set up my first appointment which is extremely important. Guess what happened!? Well the number is invalid to start (the number Tricare gave me) and he is no longer at that clinic. Ok? So I called to figure it out and I keep getting hung up on, or it sounds like they answered but put the phone in their pocket and are walking around.. So I am sitting there saying "Hello?" .. I hung up.
I decided to reach out to other ladies in my "infertility" situation here at this location. I talked to a girl who seriously recommends switching to Standard. Guess what? After hearing her entire explanation, I am seriously considering it. I think Fort Carson, has forced my hand. Am I wrong to not want to risk getting all the menopause symptoms back, a risk of heart disease and even cancer.. all because my doctors aren't on their game. I think not. I am going to be selfish when it comes to this decision. I have been told about an amazing fertility specialist who can help me. I want to be taken care of and feel confident that our money is going to someone who knows what to do for me.
Until next time,
Nicole
