Thanks... yeah, it is the depression making me feel this way. My doctor (actually not a pdoc, a DO) would recognize this based on the enthusiastic conversations we've had together aboutour mutual interest and passion. Me claiming to have no desire to continue would evoke a double-take, no doubt.
I know most people here praise pdocs, especially over GP's, but I'm not so comfortable with the idea. This is partly based one bad experience with a pdoc, and actually bad experiences with other GP's, so I guess I biased just because I prefer my own doctor on a personal level.
Anyway, I like that he can treat my body, not just the emotional aspect of the disease. He can do physical exams. He can run tests. I actually should have another thyroid test done. I don't care that I've had it done twice before in my life. If I'm anywhere near the low end up normal, I bed it wouldn't hurt to try some augmentation, especially considering my fatigue even while rested. He's probably more capable of prescribing medications to counter physical side effects than a pdoc.
