Second Opinions

Second opinions from doc's are a must in today's society. After having been treated for depression for the last 11 years, I am now told that "No Pooka, you don't have 'Depression', you are Bipolar/manic depressive." With this diagnosis comes the realization that every medication they have ever put me on to treat my depression has just made it worse. So I am now pulling my self out of a cycle that came pretty close to ending me as I know it. I am so playing the waiting game with this new diagnosis with its multitude of medication and plethora of doc visits. But before anyone who reads this (if anyone in the world actual reads my little attempt at ranting) goes woe is her, this entry has a moral. The moral is always get a second opinion, even if it is sending symptoms to webmd.com's e doctors.
