Tranquilizers Anyone?

Okay, so I have to share my experience that happened at the Doctor’s today. It was quite amusing. To give a bit of a background, I’ve had some varying symptoms (since I was about 18) that more than anything just irritate me- major fatigue, nausea, dizzy/lightheaded, losing hair, always thirsty, etc… A lot of the times they are basic flu like symptoms, or pregnancy symptoms (NO I am not pregnant), and by now I am just ready to get to the bottom of it. So I am thinking it is probably a thyroid problem (dad and 2 sisters have it), but my blood results were normal. So anyways, when I saw the doctor today I was really hoping he would help me get to the bottom of things. He was very nice and seemed truly concerned. The only problem is that I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the solutions he came up with for my “problems.” He asked me a round of questions about my personal life (I was thinking maybe I had gone to the wrong kind of doctor) like are you depressed? What do you worry about? How are things at home? Etc.. In the very bitter end he had 2 options for me. 1) I could see a behavioral counselor and 2) I could take some medication. “What kind of medication, exactly?” I asked. “Oh, just a small dose of tranquilizers.” HA! Could this guy really be serious? Tranquilizers? I thought I had made it clear that things were more than fine in my personal life, and I don't feel stressed or anxious. Maybe he wasn't listening. Well, since that was all he had to offer, I politely turned him down and decided what the heck. I will just live with my symptoms. I really don’t like going to the doctor and today just reaffirmed that for me. Oh well. I came home with a funny story to tell. Tranquilizers, anyone? :)
