Post by DianeYou are always welcome, Snit. :-) I'm glad your GP is trying to help you.
I wish you would email me and tell me what is wrong. You don't have to if
you don't want to.
I am happy to do so and will give more details in email in the next day or
two.
Post by DianeMy inbox is always open to you if you change your mind.
Thank you. I will take you up on that.
Post by DianeI had a few bad days myself, but yesterday was one of the WORST. I feel
much better today too. I'm on 3 10 mg. Imipramine a day instead of two.
Hopefully, it will change things for the better. Yes, my doctors are doing
their best to get me referrals to other specialists too. I have an appt.
with a really good neurologist, who does more than that, on Jan. 2nd and I
can't wait! Take care of yourself, Snit.
I am looking for a good neurologist. There are *none* in the area where I
live (there is only one on my insurance and she gets horrible reviews...
before we knew that we tried to make two appointments... one they claimed we
called and cancelled and the second they changed the location without
telling us - we made the appointment at the location we wanted / expected to
go. With the one where they claimed we cancelled my phone service happens to
let me see my phone records so I was able to do a search for their phone
number and prove nobody in my house had called or been called by them... I
sent them a copy. I am sure it will do nothing but it felt good. :)
We then went to a neurologist in Phoenix. He sent a massive packet for us to
fill out before hand - good, we thought, he is thorough. When we got there
he told us he did not care about anything in the packet he just wanted to
know what happened as I was being born. I gave him the best details I could
but he was frustrated I did not know more details off hand. He then asked if
I had headaches... I told him I do get tension headaches from time to
time... he insisted *all* headaches are migraines and then told me he gives
all his patients one med (I do not remember what). He warned me that while
it should reduce my headaches it will likely make my panic worst - and then
told us of the patients we were talking to in the waiting room took it and
developed a panic disorder! One, why would you suggest that to someone with
a history of a panic disorder, and two, doesn't HIPAA mean he should not
tell us about the patients we were just talking to!
So we are now looking for a *third* neurologist. Sigh. So far all the ones
on my insurance get *bad* reviews. We are still looking.
Anyone know of a good do-it-yourself-at-home brain transplant kit? :)

Post by SnitThanks. Feeling a lot better today... went to my GP and she is being her
normal very supportive self and doing everything she can to help me get to
whatever specialists I need to get to.
Side note: oops... had my "Linux group" sig for here. Makes no sense for
this group. Oh well, I think I can be excused making some mistakes
yesterday. :)
Post by Diane{{{{{Snit}}}}} I feel soooo bad for you. :-( I know what you mean by one
more mystery, sadly. I'm so glad it isn't dangerous, but I understand
completely why it would be annoying and scary. Please keep posting, Snit.
I like to hear from you. Take care of yourself.

Post by SnitEnded up in the ER tonight after having what has been deemed a "complex
partial seizure with automatisms". Looking up what this means it seems an
odd diagnosis - I was completely aware during the attack but my body was
going into convulsions... started off with simple shivering from being in
the cold but then become extremely bad, even when I went to a warm area.
Sigh. One more mystery to my health. The joy. :)
At least it does not seem to be dangerous... just annoying and scary.
