That's normally me as well, or there's extremely severe pain. Though with a congenital issue I do need to do blood work, bone scans.
Had a call today about 3 with the psychologist PA. She assured me I ought to to have stayed on the last medicine, just took bigger doses. It was only giving me hiccups. She couldn't explain a good reason to continue it.
Also part of my congenital condition, my brain doesn't make the feel good chemicals. The medicine she gave controlled those chemicals. "Um, they aren't there so what are the drugs doing?"
"Oh well, we can try other drugs."
"How many have I already tried? What was the one you suggested would the final one?"
"Well, you've tried all the antidepressants. There's other neuro transmitters though. Think I told you that lithium salts were the only thing remaining in your case."
"Recall my statement on that?"
"Ah, yeah no chemical lobotomy. But there's other things we could try, ..."
"Sorry, but I've had enough lab ratting."
"Okay, so we'll call/see you in six months?"
"Okay, reckon."
And to be fair, honest. My brain might make the feel good chemicals. If so, it does it's in very limited quantities. Know my brain chemicals did not function from birth to create olfactory nerves. So yes, kind of know I'm "wired" different.
