I've had people tell me it's "unrealistic" for a 28-year-old to have all the health problems I do. Like I'm a badly-written roleplaying character. Everyone in my family has health conditions that are pretty heavily tied to Agent Orange exposure, and my father was in Vietnam when Agent Orange was being used, but apparently I sound like I'm trying to win the disability Olympics or something. Plus I've got a pretty nasty case of Borderline Personality Disorder that comes with intense paranoia, so I always suspect people think the worst of me. I'm getting better at taking myself out of it, but that plus experience of "you're lying, nobody your age is that sick" kind of leave a mark :-/

My endo's at some sort of endocrinology convention, and my liver function is decreasing but I'm not in liver failure yet; I don't honestly understand that much about the problem except that my GP wants me to talk to my endocrinologist and get my meds changed. The trouble is the metformin is for my PCOS and the Warfarin is something I have to take pretty much forever; I've already thrown one clot in my lung and my father had eleven before he died, so the risks are way too big for me not to be on preventative medication.

"you're lying, nobody your age is that sick

Wow, I wonder what planet the person who could say this is from.

The people who told you it's "unrealistic" suck. Seriously, how much empathy must one lack to say something like that? :(

Isn't there some way to contact your endocrinologist through e-mail, cellphone number, or something?

No 28-year-old in the world is on eight different types of medication, obviously. Never mind that a lot of my conditions are interlinked.

I'm going to call the clinic's emergency number on Monday. My endocrinologist is the one I see at the local hospital's diabetes clinic, which combines endocrinologists, nutritionists, and a bunch of other specialists that you need to see for complications panels (eye function, kidney function, that sort of thing) so worst case scenario, I'll be able to see someone. It's just taken me years to find doctors who'll treat my conditions instead of just my weight, so I'm really leery of using unfamiliar ones.
