Another Exhausting Appointment

I went to another doctor's appointment today and I am mentally drained. No the medicine at the new dose hasn't worked. The answer? Let's check your liver and see if it's okay to go higher. Why you ask? Because I've had labs that come back with me on paper saying I'm in liver failure and have too much of this med in my system. Then I usually get jaundice.

We also talked about another doctor I'm not sure I am seeing again. She doesn't listen. I don't expect her to remember everything about me with her caseload but when we are talking, pay attention. We have the same conversations over and over. She doesn't get it. There are days I can barely walk or am walking into walls falling or falling into them...she wants me to talk up running. I have RA and IH, joints and head pain don't agree with running. She doesn't get that while I need to do things like lose weight, how exactly do you want me to do it if I can barely move some days?
