I love going to see my fibromyalgia specialist. I guess I am always so caught up in my day to day activities that my appointment is a time that is just for ME, and to check in on MY health. My doctor makes the appointment fun, even though I might not get the news I want to hear, I always feel well taken care of, and walk away with a plan. He makes me feel confident that my future looks bright, and that he will always be there to support me. I wish I could go every week. And I wish he would live forever.
Even though I am a fibromyalgia specialist, I cannot examine myself, nor can I have perspective about what is going on in my life. But even if I could do these things, I would still relish my appointments. I think we all need to find someone who understands what we are going through and someone who takes the time to concentrate on our particular needs and challenges. Over the years we have built a relationship, we have made human ties, which in The Little Prince is held in such high regard.
I hope all of you find a doctor who not only can help you get better, but who can make you feel special. This is priceless in an era of overwhelmed doctors and medical care that often feels rushed.
