rare disease

First of all: I have this extremely rare disease that causes my body to NOT produce estrogen on its own so I take meds for it. I’ve been on low dose meds for 4-5 years(I got a new doc recently). I also have a swallowing problem. I am 22 yrs old. Occasionally I’d have trouble swallowing pills.

Anyway the doc(new doc because the other one only deals with teens) refuses to change the period part meds even though it is hard to swallow so I give up and get frusterated. I am only on 2mg. estrodal. I don’t feel like doing anything and I find no point in anything, I am sick of everything. I tried every single anti-depressants and every single anti-anxiety. I’ve seen counselors and MDs. I don’t like psychiatrists because they are psycho.

Should I change doctors? What do you think?

My petuitary gland and testosterone(women have them too!) is normal. It’s just the estrogen that’s not there.

If you say “go seek counseling” please state why.

    Yes, change doctors. If he’s unwilling to meet your needs, find a new one.

    How big is the pill? If small enough, put a little peanut butter around it and eat it.
