Exactly. The thing is, he used to be the one pushing me to do only one
thing at a time (which is what you're supposed to do), even when my
counts were VERY low (like brain bleed or septicaemia from looking at a
dirty counter top low) and I wanted to do multiple things at once like a
shot-gun approach to try and get my counts up as quickly as possible by
any means necessary (if possible at all...my treatment ideas actually
brought my counts up but were after we'd exhausted his ideas and
conventional treatments). Now, he's panicking about the kidneys (which
are very important for being able to do a transplant - while my other
doctors aren't as alarmed) and wanting to change more than one thing in
too close proximity and over my objections. It's like we've both tried
to learn how the other one works in this doctor-patient relationship and
have switched styles. He was right originally, though, which is why I've
adopted his style which is what my rational and scientifically educated
mind was telling me this whole time, even when I desperately wanted to
do too much at once. It's very frustrating, especially since I was
transfusion independent for almost a quarter of a year for the first
time in 7 years! I had to have another double transfusion yesterday. I
am not in the best mood :-/
