How to get a doctor's ignorance on the radar?

I went to a doctor (I never go because of money, so I had no regular doctor) first time. I strongly believe I have ADHD. I described my symptoms. I had looked up adult ADHD and my symptoms are TEXTBOOK. He tells me I'm paranoid and that my symptoms don't sound like ADHD. Well that's funny, because when I look up symptoms it describes me to a T! Then he asks if I smoke. I say yes. He says that if I smoke I probably don't have ADHD. Well that's funny, because every bit of information I found says that adults with AdDHD are FAR more likely to be smokers at 40% and on the rise. THEN he gives me Zoloft and I notice a rash and shortness of breath a few hours after taking it and so I call his office. His assistant relays the message to him and calls me back, "Dr. doesn't think it is a reaction to your meds and says keep taking them". I am so angry and upset. He treated me like I was stupid. And yet everything he said to me about doubting I had adult ADHD is BACKWARDS AND he tells me to continue this drug. I am livid! I really need help! I have no more money to go to another doctor. I have tried anti-depressants on the past and sworn them off before because of weight gain, loss of libido, etc. What do I do now! I need HELP and I have no more money for another doctor visit and now this! Help me please! How do I report this guy? Or what can I do?

How to Lose Weight Naturally

Recommended Answer:

First off you can always report a dr to that area's licensing agency.2nd. ADHD. It is a behavior that you can learn to deal with if you want to even without meds. Medication should NEVER be given/taken unless it enhances your life. If ADHD makes your life unlivable then maybe meds, but there are plenty of things you can do without meds.. BUT REALLY did you not read the article abt the Dr that made up the dx to fit certain people. And so yrs later we medicate for personalities that don't "FIT" in. hmmmmm.

• As you may know, over 90% of the information on the internet is false. You need to keep that in mind when using it as a reference. Anyone can write anything they want, no matter how wrong or harmful.As for diseases, real diseases never look like "the textbook". Books give general outlines of the average of the way a disease presents and then the human brain in the form of a doctor has to take the information combined with the 100's of cases of that same disease that he has seen and make a diagnosis on that basis. Experience is not in books and certainly not on the internet.If you don't trust this doctor or don't like him, you have little choice but to go to another. Free clinics and emergency rooms serve many people who can't afford a regular doctor. If you have no insurance, you are toying with owing all the money you make for the rest of your life in medical bills should you have an accident or sudden illness.

How to Lose Weight & Keep a Healthy Looking Face

I'm kind of in a similar position, headed back to my old high-school after to years without him. But personally I think it's a great idea, if done right that is, I did an experiment and went on a cruise to test out my new look and it definitely got attention. I decided to wear less make-up and have fun with my friends, which got a TON of attention. Guys like it when you're outgoing and comfortable with yourself. If he's not a complete idiot (which he might be because he broke up with you in the first place) he WILL notice how awesome you are and how cute you look in those new jeans. Good luck, but even if he doesn't notice, at least you are having fun!

Judging by all of the husky ladies I see taking Zumba classes everyday at the gym, and judging by the fact that these husky ladies never seem to lose a pound, I would guess no. You''re much better off going for a jog for 30 minutes or using the elliptical machine for an hour. Just stick to classic aerobic activities, along with your diet, and you''ll lose the weight more quickly. I''m sorry for sounding mean, but Zumba, at least to me, seems to be a social gathering for big girls to dance. I see the same big girls every day doing the same activities. And if you look at the same big girls 6 months from now, they still look big and are doing the same dances. Running/jogging is the best exercise you can do to lose weight.

Will eating only half of every meal make me lose weight?

Hi, I''m a 17-year old girl who''s 165cm tall and weights about 62k. Over the last years I''ve been gaining a lot of weight (I just to be really skinny as a kid). That''s mostly because I don''t have time to work-out or do sports (I''m to busy with school and even when I have some spare time, the gym is a 20m drive my mom won''t do). I also eat fairly unhealthy since I barely like any vegetables (only carrits, brocoli and caulilflower). And I snack all the time and drink to much soda. Now I''ve been tryin to cut out all the snacks (I replaced them with fruit) and the soda and I always take the stairs instead of the elevator, I fon''t stroll to my bus stop but I do the walk in I high tempo, I do some ab crunshes every morning and every night,... but I''m not seeing any change on the scale (in fact I''m still gaining weight). I''m never in charge of my own meals since I have breakfast and lunch at my grandma''s and dinner at school. I can''t decide what I eat but i can decide how much I eat of it. Now I noticed a lot of diet sites saying your body only neads half of what we normally eat, that it''s just out of habit that we finish the entire plate. Is this true and will it make me lose weight? Because I have no idea what do to and I find my body disgusting and I just wanna change something and prove to myself that I can. That I''m stronger than the sugar cravings, you know? Please give me some advice, it''d be much appreciated.

Weight Loss - Are You Fighting With Yourself to Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
eating smaller portions is fine but as long as you are getting your daily nutritional needs your body needs.
that means the right amount of protein, iron, calcium etc

if cutting meals in half means your cutting your calcium intake in half for example is not good.

• I lost 5 pounds in 22weeks no kidding..
  Check it out. and good luck
• you''re body''s probably gaining weight because you''ve been walking faster and stuff and it''s gaining muscle. especially if you changed your diet. and trust me I though I hated all vegetables too. but there are a lot of good ones out there. I love advocados with hummus and onions on whole wheat bread. and grille asparagus with garlic and salt. there are so many veggies out there that you can''t try. eating unhealthy will get you no where fast. you should probably stick to a healthy diet. that way you can eat the full amount. people who eat half a meal tend to get hungry later anyways and over eat at the next meal. it doesn''t help anyone and those diets never work

Hypnosis - Lose Weight With Hypnosis Easily, Naturally & Permanently For Anyone and It Works

Recommended Answer:
You really do answer your own question.... There are no tricks...

... to lose weight a bit more 'efficiently' you could adopt the alternate day fasting (ADF), or zone diet strategy. ADF requires a person to know their daily/weekly calorie amount and then reduce that amount to create a deficit to lose weight (ie if you must eat 3000 cals daily to maintain you current weight and you wanted to lose 1kg per week for 12 weeks you would have to simply reduce your daily cals by 500 per day, and eat 2500 calories daily), with ADF you fast for two days a week and eat your weight loss calorie amount total for the remaining five days. You only eat one meal of 800 calories for breakfast on your two fast days and then zero calories for the remainder or the day, which also means no drinks or beverages that contain calories either. So... if your daily calories amount to lose weight was 2500 (2500x7 = 175000 calories you need to eat (or slightly less) per week to lose weight... if you eat 800 calories only for two days (1600 total) then the other five days you can eat more than your 2500... 2500 cals X 2 days - 5000 cals ... 1600 cals - 5000 cals = 3400, which can then be spread across the other 4 days. (3400 / 5 = 680 calories more per day) ... 2500 + 680 = 3180 calories per day!!! ... in a nutshell you eat 3180 calories per day for five days a week and 800 calories on two days; your weekly calorie amount to lose weight will still be the same (total of 17500 for the week), but the two days you fasted for will have created a larger/faster calorie loss compared to what you would have lost over a week if you had just eaten the same amount of calories each day.

The zone diet is almost the same as it uses a weekly calorie amount, but instead of having fast days, it has a different calorie amount each day. Some days are high and some are low.

The results from both diet strategies work... but with ALL diets to lose weight, you have to stick to them 100% ... doing it 99% often does not work... at the end of the day it all boils down to 'those people who know exactly what to do, and then do it... and those who know exactly what to do and choose not to do it' .... which type are you?

Good luck... ;0)
