Ray!
I totally understand....when someone wants to listen and you really begin describing your pain and life, well, it can and does sometime lead to tears.....I've shed them as I'm sure most everyone here has at some point! I'm glad you got to speak with Debbie afterwards!
It may have been awkward since it was the doctor you were with, and we can be conditioned to speak and act so objectively and downright stiff in front of them....but hopefully the doc connected and understood....I know I sure do......I had a bad crying jag late at night recently that woke my roomie, who came into the bathroom to find me hunched over in tears, and I had to explain.....
Just know that you expressed your honest emotion, which can help....it's when we're not straight up with doctors or others that can hurt us....I made sure I was in a flare the last time I went to the doc, as the time before I felt ok and didn't really complain and they thought I shouldn't be there!
You ROCK, Icky!
Peace
