Treatment Of Acid Reflux

Q.I have a question regarding so called "medical professionals" who feel just because a person is sick alot (I have Asthma and Acid Reflux) need mental health counseling. I signed up with DVR because I have a hard time keeping work because I get sick so much. They feel it's because I have a mental problem because I am sick so much and sent me to a psychiatrist for a mental health evaluation. The person they sent me was condescending during my interview with her and I felt worse seeing her than I did before. Two times I was taken to the hospital with severe Asthma attacks and was treated pretty badly by the hospital staff. Since that time I have shyed away from doctor's because of the "wonderful" treatment I've received. I want to work but feel just too sick to work now and I really need a job as I'm single. Any suggestions? Can anyone find out the suitable treatment for this please?

A.Not to compound your misery, but when a great many people are all coming to the same conclusion, based on what you tell them, it might be time for you to take down some of the defenses and consider what they have to say. There IS a mind-body connection. Many people hide behind physical illness to avoid doing something (work, relationships, challenges). Doctors are trained to discern true physical illness from physical illness manufactured by the mind. There is no doubt that your symptoms are real, but when blood tests and other tests don't reveal some sort of physical CAUSE -- and when you become super-hostile and take the attitude that no one has problems quite like yours, that is a red flag. Life can be really rough. The right mental attitude is essential, regardless of the state of your health. You can deal with the physical stuff, but work on ways to make yourself stronger mentally and emotionally. Then one day you may wake up and realize, "Hey, I DON'T feel sick any more." Wouldn't you like to have that happen? You can't sit around waiting for the medical profession to "rescue" you. A lot of the work must be done by you.
