well.. lets see or not...

Just to let you know, I havent been on the forum for a while, as I am feeling pretty discouraged with all that has been going on. I have started the Trazadone med, and I do sleep better at night. Vision is still the same. My GP phoned me after he had recieved the 7 page summary from the phyciatrists, and said get in here. So the soonest I could get in was not till next tuesday. BLAH -- I am so fed up! My disablity insurance ran out, payments bouncing left right and centre... and I cant drive, to even get to a job. Soooo.. so much stuff, I just want to see, and quit with the dizzy spells, and the falling , and numbness...
I talked with the nuero dude, from my stay in the hospital, and he said, there were NO "white matter" on my first MRI -- when I saw it myself, with Neuro #1. He also said nothing was in my second MRI with gal. NOTHING.
Then I asked, well, I saw the white spots myself!! He said, well, we all have white spots.. EVERYONE OF US.
I am so mad. I dont get it.
So, there fore, I am getting tagged with conviersion disorder, I need to see a shrink (which is okay) , and I need to "get on with my life" as the doctor in the hospital told me .
Im sorry, thanks for letting me vent. Its not so bad in limbo - land.

Love Shari

CD as in Conversion disorder? Yeah, I mentioned it to the nurse when I called for an appointment. She is a friend of mine... and all she could say, when I explained my situation, was, " Oh Shari...Im sorry..." Im just a mess, I feel like ****, now I am wondering if I am losing it? I called Neuro #1 , the one that saw the white spots, and talked to the receptionist, and she told me that, his summary was sent to my GP, he took a look at my file from the hospital. But, then , she says "well Shari, I don't know what more you want from him? "

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! Are you kidding me?

Hi Shari,

I'm so sorry you are so discouraged, but try to hang in there.  I know some here have gone to a psych, just to show their neuro's that their symptoms were NOT in their heads.

Just think positive and go through with the pysch stuff and this will prove that something is really wrong with you and your neuro needs to get a clue!!!

Or, go ahead and find another neuro and get another opinion.  All my MRIs are clear also, but it hasn't changed all my symptoms any!!!!!

Take care of yourself, and know we are all here for you, and you can vent to us anytime you want to.

Love & Hugs,
