“I feel tired all of the time.”
“You are getting older. And you ARE overweight. Those things can make you feel tired.”
“Oh, the weight! I can’t lose anymore weight. In fact, I keep gaining weight!”
“Well, how many calories are you eating a day? Are you working out for at least an hour a day? Mmm , hmmm.”
“But you don’t understand! I’m too tired to work out. I have no stamina. I try to work out, but I can’t. I feel horrible!”
“Excuses, excuses. Get on a treadmill. You’ll feel better.”
Doctors are human. They can make mistakes. Closed-minded doctors often do. You are the boss of your body, and you are the paying customer. If your doctor won’t meet your needs, go somewhere else.
Be well.
