Why is a particular treatment recommended? How important are social and psychological factors in choosing a treatment option?
We have found little recognition of one’s personal circumstances in choosing a treatment but in discussions on the net you will find treatment choices hotly debated. Doctors’ recommendations are based on their experience, training, the policies of their hospital, the costs and who is paying for these and lastly your preference. Our sense is that some people want the doctor to make the recommendation for them while others want to take a pro-active role and work as part of the health care team. Those of us on the net are probably more inclined towards the latter view – that’s why we get on the net to find out as much as we can. If you are a Type A personality you may find this type of illness particularly frustrating to deal with. You may want to get a treatment, and get it over with. You will need to learn how to chill out so to speak. This is not like a broken leg or similar physical injury. It is a chronic disease which will require you to make certain changes in your life from now on
