fiesty is my middle name

So recently I have been dealing with stupid drs yet again! It's been 2 wks and I have not gotten my full biopsy test results back. Said he would call that Monday after Easter and its two weeks later. I call everyday and everyday that stupid secretary is like I will let him know...ugh. I also have been having side effects from steroids. My heart races fast and beats like its going to pump out of my chest but i also can't really breathe. My hands go numb sometimes. I have headaches and I still have flares! How anbouig that they say steroids help.. BS! but anyhow I call my Dr that dumb sloth of a secretary days she will.let the nurse know and they will get back to me. They NEVER do! Well this one particular day I was over it so to say. I went there chewed out the sloth and she had the nerve to sit there and talk about her child and Aiden. Hunny, I am not here to be your friend. My life is on the line and you guys won't return my calls or respond back with my results! Then next day Dr morris calls and says he tried calling I say yea one time and I called back in an hr and they said you were already gone. Ugh. Doesn't help that both of these days that I am talking to these idiots I was having horrible horrible flares! So feisty is really an understatement :) I'm already feisty with no flare so its like x10 when i have a flare and I'm dealing with idiots and my life on the line. So I go get my records bc I make an appt with another nephrologist to get a second opinion. They can't give me my records just yet bc he hasn't signed off on them! What type of crap is that?! They are mine!!!!! I just laugh and leave at this point. Bc I'm over it! I go to new Dr next day and basically he breaks down everything. Draws me pictures of my kidney tissue to explain the biopsy and why I'm on steroids. Bc usually if you have chronic kidney failure you don't take steroids but since I have two auto immune disorders the steroids should help it all. He reassured me that my Dr is doing what he his doing rt and that he will.get in contact with him to let him know that I am nervous and.need more details and communication. I will stay with my.Dr for the rest of the month trial on steroids and take the exams to see if it helps..if it doesn't then I will.start going to.new Dr for another theory. Oh joys of drs visits and the amount of money we pay them for this bull...atleast I feel better about what is going on with me and the next steps.
