PROVERAFrom: Abby (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Nov 2 18:07:23 2006
First I want to say thanks to all of you ladies that responded to my question about the Provera and large amount of blood loss and large clots. Some of you asked about the kind of relationship I have with my doctor and the most that I can tell you about that is that my doctor is the type that never gets worked up or worried about anything pertaining to his patients. If I were to have told him that story about what happened that night he probably would have just stopped writing in my chart and looked up at me with his eyebrows raised and after a few seconds went back to his writing with some explanation about how it's normal and how it will pass with time. The thing is that I am very worried about happened. I called the nurse at my doctor's office and I told her about it and she sounded flabbergasted over the phone like she had never heard of anyone on Provera doing that before. She told me the doctor would call me back or she would call me back with some kind of instructions about what to do but I haven't gotten that phone call yet and it's been a while. I called back to the office yesterday just to remind them that they owed me a phone call about what happened and of course I had to explain everything all over again to another nurse that sounded just as freaked out about my experience as the first nurse did. As for telling me what to do they haven't done that so I just stopped taking the medicine. I left a message telling them that until someone calls me back about it that I wasn't going to continue taking it and even that message wasn't worthy of a call back. Why is it doctors and nurses tell us to report change to them or call them if we notice something not right and when we do they take their ever sweet time about calling back or they never do and then when we go to our next appointment and tell them about how we were never called they stand around acting like they never got any messages or they like they never knew anything prior to that very moment when we are telling them about it? I'm not ready to switch doctors so that's not an option for me right now. I don't want to look like the patient that skips from one doctor to the next and doctors have a way of making it look like our fault rather than that they didn't do for us what they should have. I went through that experience and learned that very lesson when my mother became ill last fall and we went through 4 different doctors until we got one that would do some tests to finally find her problem and get her health straightened out. I like my doctor and I believe in him I just don't like that he doesn't tell me about side affects of medicine or what to expect from the medicine and I really don't like it when nobody calls me back or tells me what to do when things like my situation happen. My doctor just expects me to take any pill he gives me without asking questions and that's not right. Thanks for letting me babble ladies. It means a lot to have someone that knows what I'm going through cause the nursing staff and my doctor sure doesn't.
