Well, I went twice to the rheumy, and got nowhere.
Despite my writing twice on the sheet you have to fill out once you arrive at the office that I had ringing in my ears, he was surprised when I mentioned I had ringing in my ears.
Apparently he hadn't read a thing I wrote! Apparently he also did not fax all the MD's I had seen in the past for my previous records.
What a waste of time and money. He wouldn't even give me my previus fibromyalgia pain med (Vicoprofen) even though he rediagnosed me with fibromyalgia. (I also have terrible back pain from multiple accidents when I stand too long at work) including crushing pain in my feet and ankles for some reason and sciatica.
He gave me Mobic which is said to be just as dangerous as Viox. When it didn't work and I stopped it after 6 days, he wanted to double it. I refused. He then started me on Lidane or Lidane or Lidone or something. I didn't get it yet and tool Motrin last night.
I've been taking Colloidal SIlver and started this herbal program called Susans' Herbs 100 day protocol(Samento, Cumanda, Carnivora). Also grapefruit pectin.
I also wrote down something I had said at work when trying to figure out what word to use, and suddenly he decided to send me to a neurologist.
I was trying to say something like maybe the CNA's put your urinal there so it wouldn't get spilt, but my brain just made up words. So it wouldn't get spollen, spillin spilled, spilt.
Since I have been on the colloidal silver, I started with headaches etc, esp. in my frontal lobe (and last night severe headache after the grapefruit) but my brain seems to be getting better. It's pathetic when you can't add all of a sudden, when you had a 98 average at one time in Intermediate Algebra! Or can't spell when you previously were asked and were paid by Simon & Schuster to edit a book!
He is sending me to a neurologist he knows. If he's anything like HIM, I think I'll pass. I asked if he could send me to Dr. K in Orange, and he looked it up in his book and said there is no Dr. K in Orange.
Apparently there may have been a cancellation at his colleage's office because they called me with an appointment very quickly. Neurological Associates it said on the machine.
I called Dr. K's number that was provided to me here, and they took my # down and said they would have the Doc. call me. I am wondering why this Doc. isn't in the Rheumys book?
