I'm so discouraged! Not only am I physically disabled, bedridden and dealing with tons of symptoms, I am so emotionally drained. I feel like I've been kicked when I was (am) down.
I saw my new doctor for the second time today. After waiting over an hour in the waiting room (and I don't handle sitting for very long), hubby ABD I went into docs office.
We were informed that he received a call from Dr. Monster, the Neuro I saw in emergency last week, and this doctor told him that the problem is in my head and is not MS. This is the same Neuro I have an appt with in 2 days.
This new doctor has not yet received my files from my consulting doctors over the last 5 years, so he has no clue about my medical history. I had given him a list of my symptoms over the last 25 years, all textbook MS. He never read it.
Dr. Monster spent a total of 5minutes with me in the ER and witched the whole time.
Neither of them has yet received the results of my MRI. Automatically, because the word "depression" is on my file, everything is in my head. But treatable I am told.
The doctor didn't listen to any of my new symptoms, I didn't get a chance to ask any questions... Nothing! I was given 3 new prescriptions to take and another appt. in two weeks. My 5 minutes were over.
Hubby and I were in shock by the treatment we received. We're both so angry. I feel like I want to retreat from the world. I don't want any more appointments, no more doctors. I just want to be left alone.
At the same time, I so much want to walk again. I want to be healthy.
I want a doctor I can talk to!!! I've lost all faith in doctors and I don't have much faith in myself now either.
Without treatment to stop this from progressing, I have no hope of ever walking again. Being bedridden for the rest of my life!
I feel like ill ever stop crying. No wonder I'm depressed!
