This is so true, in many more cases that not. Our doctors are short handed, over loaded, under staffed, and even the best of them can overlook symptoms, or are pre-occupied with something else (even though they should be listening to the patient) when we go in with complaints. All too often difficult diseases like RA, Lupus, FM, and a whole host of others get mis-diagnosed. Not just by one or two doctors but sometimes by dozens. Here is a great article about just that. How many of us suffer for years and years thinking we are nuts, before that one particular doctor puts all of the puzzle together and "Viola'!" finally we have a correct diagnosis.
