If your doctor said this to you...how would you take it?!
Question: He said he had "learned a lot from me."
I am a fibromyalgia patient and our system responds differently than anyone else to medication. Medicines just do not have any effect on me except to make me feel drunk. I never get relief.
Most recently, I have been diagnosed with asthma and I have the most uncontrolable asthma anyone around me knows.
I kind of think the doctor mean, he learned not everyone responds to medication.
One other thing, I stay on the internet finding out as much as I can about why I'm sick. Friends tell me they didn't know you could get asthma from receiving too many anti-biotics and getting systemic candida. The candida will give a person asthma. I don't think the ppl aro
und me know much about asthma, but I was surprised when the doctor claimed he'd learned from me.
What do you think he was saying?

As the daughter of a Dr., what he means is what he said and it;s a compliment: your condition is unusual, he didn't know a lot about it, and trying to help you has meant he's learned something about your condition. Doctors are not geniuses: they can't know everything about everything all the time. So when someone with an unusual condition teaches them something new, that makes them a better Dr. and means they'll be able to help more people.
He was accepting the facts. Learning is a continuous process which never stops.
i believe what he was trying to tell you was before treating you he may not have seen to many people with fibromyalgia and because of treating you he has become more informed and understands the disease much better.
And because you are so informed about your condition it makes working with you much easier.
Good luck and your are lucky that you have a DR who takes the time to talk to you, no all DR do that in this day and age
