This morning

[crwriter]

I am up and have had only one cup of coffee.  Oh darn, I wanted two.  I'm sitting here with my head clouded in anger over test results that have been ignored for years - a decade.  What is the matter with people?  Aren't doctors people, too?

With proper medical care I may not have gotten quite to this point at this point in time.  I said may...  This could have been in the cards for me in any case.  I have an eye test at 10 AM and my LP at 1:30.  They probably will put me under because of my seat belt injuries in 2005.  Lumbar area is extremely painful.  My response to pain and stress is different than most.  

My dystolic BP can plummet into the 40s and my systolic is less dramatic.  But now that I think I understand what this is from, I hope it won't happen.  I have always demanded that they let me get up and leave - that getting up and leaving will force my BP up.  They usually try to hold me down and pump me full of fluids to get my BP up.  All that makes me do is make me run to the bathroom a lot.  They now believe this info and will be careful.  I always thought it was the result of anesthesia, but the last time it happened there was none.

I have experienced the very worst in people, I thought.  But now I have to endure something that comes as a result of a doctor shooting for a 3-day work-week.  Oh geesh.  If they do not confirm MS, there is something else to find.  I'm not sure if that is good news or bad news.

Thanks for listening - think I will do this stuff in my journal from now on.

Back finally.  Never going to schedule two test in a day again.  Almost fell on my face a few times.  I growled and scowled.  I almost jumped off the xray the table.  I am tired.  All went well today and no results for me.

This has been brewing for years.  This is the first mention of ms - got the news last week.  A "I'm leaning towards..."  So nothing is for sure.  But at least those tests are in - those rings in urblood - the spinal fluid - the VEP - and the wonderful milliamps causing my fingers to smack the air.  The MRIs were nuthin, and I wonder what is to come.

I should complain?  Last year I had a lousy doctor, and this year I have what I think is a good one.  Think I'll go fall into bed and wait for a new day.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum - sorry I should this before.

I agree with you that are " the Dr's human or what?"

No sometimes they think that they are at the top of their tree, and look down upon us as if we are crazy.

How long have you been having problems for?  Have they ever mentioned MS to you?

Wishing you the very best with all your testing today especially with the LP.

I hope they give you the results ASAP.

Sorry I can't write anymore, my pc is on a go slow day:/
