God, sometimes I just hate the medical establishment. Sometimes I really wish I could just switch bodies with people like your pain specialist for a day (preferably a bad one) and have him see that its real and he needs to shut up and believe.
I'm really lucky because my doctor an all of her children have the same disease I do, so she knows how to treat it and what I'm going through, but with my other doctors, I have to search all around to find one that acknowledges that I have a real illness that they know nothing about, and I'm not crazy, I'm not lying, and it will not go away if I eat well (which I do), exercise (which I sometimes do, but since I struggle to keep my weight high enough...), and take antidepressants (which actually make me catatonic, at least Prozac does). Real life doctors like House do a lot of damage.
Besides, the show would be way better if he would just come out dressed as Prince George from Blackadder.
