HI Poet
>>>>Does your T and the other professional you see know that your medical doctor ignored you when you talked about the weight loss?
Yes, they do. One believes me completely, the other has a harder time trusting my word because I have had eating disorder problems in the past. The PCP just labels it "eating disorder" and then sweeps it off the table.
>>>>>Have you lost more weight since your last appointment? Your file should reflect what you have weighed at your appointments and so s/he should have a record to look back on.
I've only ever been weighed twice there (my first appointment ever, and then at my request when the first drop happened). The last report she got from a specialist of mine said I weighed 10lbs more than I did. I know this cause I request copies of all communications between my doctors. The woman did only weigh me quickly, in passing, and I guess she mis-read the lines. I laughed when I read it, that someone would be so careless.
My PCP doesn't often read reports unless it contains test result printouts. So she may not have even noticed that mistake.
The problem is, I technically COULD look that weight. The weight has come off so bizarrely. My clothing size hasn't changed the last 10lbs, and I have so much muscle wasting and exhaustion. It's very stragnge to see, my body fat is just hanging off my bones. My food intake hasn't changed in any way (but then, that only means as much as my word). I have none of the psychological symptoms of an eating disorder returning, and none of the emotional ones, considering I'm scared of this and not at all pleased or excited or proud.
I already have an appointment I made awhile ago so I'll try one more time.
I just want to be well.thanks for your ideas, pianissimo
