Why do some doctors treat you like you're crazy?

Right now I'm waiting to get in to see a specialist...so all I've got is a new GP.  My last GP closed her practice recently and unfortunately I don't even have a copy of my records from her office yet.

My last GP and I had been struggling for months to find a preventative that works where the side effects aren't completely horrendus.  I'm currently waiting on the newest one to kick in, and so I have a headache every day and now I've got this double vision/ear ringing thing.  Needless to say, I've missed a lot of work.  And the work I can do is probably not of the best quality.

So I saw a new GP today and she couldn't think of any reason for the double vision so I have to see a ophological (sp?) neurologist or something like that next week...great.

I asked for FMLA for my migraines because with one every day and being gone quite a bit it is starting to be damaging to my work record and I happen to like my job.  Anyway, she told me that having a headache every day shouldn't matter and there are plenty of people who have them and work through them and I should be fine.  So, no, I could not have FMLA or even a doctor's note.  About this point I think that my husband was pretty close to killing her and I was crying but I still had to leave the office empty handed.

It's not like I don't want to work.  It's not like FMLA is a free pay check...all it does it protect my job and give me some extra leeway when I run out of actual sick leave.  It is unpaid and it won't keep me from having to pay my bills.  But, **** it, if I don't take any medication at all then I have to sit in the dark and my brain isn't even capabile of thinking enough to work.  And if I do take my abortive medication then it puts me to sleep for about 3 hours (except for the fioricet which she won't let me take anymore) and then I feel so tired it's hard enough to make sure that dinner is on the table and the laundry gets done and what-not let alone try to make up the hours and hours of work that I missed.

It was like she thinks that I'm making a mountain from a mole hill, or worse that I am making it all up all together.  Like the fact that nothing abnormal shows up on the ct scan or mri means that I am just hallusinating or something.  And I could tell that the RN and the secretary felt so bad for me and handed me tissues cause I was crying but the doctor- the only one with the power to help me - wouldn't.

Anyway, it was the worst experience in a dr. office that I have ever had, like I'm some kind of crazy person or something.  And there's not a chance in the world that I am going back there. 

It's just too bad I can't take back the days that I waited to get in... or the copay...
