I hope I don't post this twice, but my post didn't show up...

You know you have the wrong NS when...

He asks you, "Do you want something to be wrong with your central nervous system?"
and
"Well you do have that Chiari malfomation, but you don't want that to be your problem" (therefore since I don't want it to be my problem, I guess it's not!  See how simple this is?)
and
after I broke down crying because I felt he was my last hope, he stood, backed up like he was scared of me, and said, "I see what your up to" and left the room.

That is one of favorites, Michelle!

How do you complain to a doctor about something to which you is normal? it's life as it is all you've ever known? But they really believe that since you haven't complained about it then it's not a problem. Jerks! Sorry, but some of them have that coming!

I was out of school before I understood that not everyone has some of this pain. But since I didn't complain .... Yeah that's a good one.

Also,  "well things look pretty good to me lets see you back in 3 mos" What, didn't I just drive up here because there 'is' something wrong? If you didn't treat it this time why would I drive back up here and pay you again? Oh that's right I forgot you need to pay the tab at Red Lobster....

Too much sun today... it didn't make me sarcastic did it? :-)

When your  doctor looks at you MRI, myleogram, CT and X ray and says " I can't see anything wrong with you." and "This is how you have always been you just never noticed"
