Lisa, I can't respond to this specifically but I was a caregiver with my parents and I can tell you ranting to others is a sanity saver. So, rant on!!!

I work with MDs and these days even the nicest, most caring are overworked(I won't go into a whole medical care thing here a) but it just is crazier for the medical field these days. As Deb said it's really important to make sure the MD really understands how disruptive a symptom is.

It may be a matter of the blind leading the blind here but please feel free to call me anytime...
