@Dutchess_III It’s all over the TV and commercials you watch. Probably more like to be on girl Channels. I don’t know if the doctor is a girl.
I’m often shocked by what doctors are unaware of. How many doctors still think Americans aren’t likely to be deficient in vitamin D? A lot. How many doctors didn’t know HPV causes cancer when it was already well known? A lot. How many GP’s who treat thyroid problems don’t check T4free and T3 and have never heard of Armour Thyroid (the script made from natural ingredients) and/or never prescribe Cytomel. Too many. How many doctors prescribe deadly combinations of medication? Too often.
My FIL has some lab work right now that in pretty sure his doctor is incompetent in her advice. I might be wrong, but everything I research seems to support what I thought. That would mean his doctor actually completely lacks knowledge about it. Total absence of knowledge on the topic. I hope I’m wrong and she is right.
If @jca is right and the doctor just doesn’t believe it’s a real thing (a possibility) either they miscommunicated and he was just being dismissive, or he just didn’t think it was the right diagnosis. But, I still think he might have no idea what it is.
