Amy I'm so sorry that you had a bad day today. I do hope that you will find the right doctor(s) that will be able to come up with answer as to what caused you to feel so bad today.

Love ya hon.

O dear Amy. I'm so sorry that you are having such a rough time. Definitely need to push the doctor and if that doesn't help a new doctor is in order. Perhaps the next time you have things happening a call to the doctor or a trip to the ER right away may catch things as they are starting. I'm just grasping at straws here. I have this intense feeling that I should be helping you find someone to do something to help fix you.

[Ambard]

You have our prayers always.

hanks hon! The joys of living in a small country area. the doctors are limited here. Alot of the good doctors have left  to go to  bigger cities  for  better pay.  I am going to try  calling this one  doctor  the  nurse at the hospital gave me  today. If that does not work, I have the name of  a doctor in Syracuse  to check out.

it is hard cause i have so many different symptoms, and they mimic  differnt things. Like i said  before it is hard to tell if it is  somehing neurological ( tey were watching me  for MS  for   awhile ), or is it te  bulging discs in  my back acting up, or if  i havesome hormone imbalance.

I have faith though that i am going to get to the bottom of  this  somehow !

[Drake Starsong]

You will get to the bottom of it Amy, no worries! You're prayers won't go unanswered, I can tell you that for certain! Just hang tough...which won't be hard..you can beat me up =x

[Dracconia]

You are going to be fine soon honey....I declare that in the name of Christ!

There we go...He's got it and He's got you...soon dear heart...and when you are better...you will be there to help me beat up drake and then catch the baby in the delivery room...hey if we are naming it after you..you gots to be there!

I know this is the last thing you want to hear but have you thought about surgery for those bulging discs yet?

Not yet. !!

You know my story about how i would not have even known about the tumor on my spine  except  that i went to the MRI place that took all my MRI  's and cat scans  and  asked  for  my films  and  reports.  and why reading a written report by the radiologist learned about the  tumor, and was like " What the......?"  and  then was very upset cause the report had been wriiten two years prior  and no one had  seen anything to me.

Well the same  thing happened  with the bulging discs. I  would have not known about them either, except that the Thoracic  surgeon who removed the tumor last year told me he spotted them right aawy when he was looking thru my films  and   cat-scans.

Which is why i have little faith in my neurologist i was  seeing  here, or my family doctor, cause they have keept very important medical info  from  me.  My Gosh, the  tumor  when they went in to remove it, was found to be not only on  my spine, but starting to wrap itself  around  part of  my heart.  Who knows what could have happen if it had not been removed.  It is just terrible that these doctors  neglected to tell me  this  info.

So yes, i have no faith in the doctors here, and  continue  to search for  a decent doctor in one of  the out lying areas.  after my  run around here, i guess i am  gun shy  a bit  and  don't want to just pick  someone  i have  not  heard about before.

 

as  for surgery on  my bulging dics, i am  hestitant because i know  two people  who have  had back surgery and  they are worse off now  then before  they had    surgery. 

also i am still not sure wheter i am looking at a neurological problem, a spine /neck problem  or  hormone.
I guess i could  check out all three. Just what i want to be running to a whole bunch of  different doctors. But one way or another i nedd to solve this matter once  and  for all hopefully.  I have heard of some conditions  that never totally get solved. the doctors just try  to treat the symptoms.

I nedd a doctor  like " Dr. House"  on the  show  " House."

Am I one of them? Well I am worse off now but not because of the back (that is actually as bad as before surgery) but more because of Ron's passing. The important thing is not giving up and finding a doctor that makes sense.

LOL ! make that three people i know. The other two being my  mother  n law, and a old neighbor of  mind.
Sorry you are still having problems  with your back. You continue to me in my thoughts  and  prayers.
    Yes, i agree the important thing is not to give up !

[Lady Amy of York]

Continuing to check out doctors and making phone calls  to different doctors  trying to get  an appointment as  soon as possible.
One neurologist was booked up  for months.
another dcotor I called  wanted  all my records and  personal info up front first, and  then they would look over them, and  decide wheter i nedded  to see them or not, and  then there was no guarantee of an apponitment and my husband  was like, why should  we hand over all this  personal info to you on  Amy, when you  might not even see her.It just sounded strange  and like they were giving us  the  run around.

Then we called the MS  specialist I had seen once before  and talked to a nurse  there and  said she would tell the  doctor i saw about  my current symptoms  and  see if he wants  to see me  and investigate  furthur  the possibility of MS or if he thinks i nedd to see a general neurologist.So waiting for  a call back  from them.

and  then along with  seeing a neurologist  my husband and i thought we should  also   seek out an endocrinologist/diabetes expert and  rule out any endrocrine  problems  or  diabetes  complications.
So i found  a place in Syracuse  that has  a excellent reputation.  Called there  and they wanted my latest blood tests.  I  said  sure no problem, I  will call  my family doctor  and  ask  for  them.

So called  the family doctor  and  the nurse  there is like" Well why are you going to syracuse  when we have an endrocrinologist here in town?"
  I tried to explain to her because  the  group i found in syracuse were associated with the Joslin Diabetes center in Massachussettes  and  they were suppsoe  to  be  very good.
    Anyway, the nurse  went on to say that it has been awhile  since i had a glucose test done,  so  right now to make  a  long story short , i am scheduled  for blood work on Monday  and  then i am to make a appointment with  my family doctor  after that.

In the mean time, the chest pain is gone  knock on wood, but i still am getting dizziness, tingling all over, slurred sppech at times, numbness, and  episodes where i start shaking all over.  Real fun ! My vision also gets blurry, and  my face, hands and feet   and even around  my stomach  are puffy. Ugh ! But  i am hanging in there, and  trying to think postive  and keep the  faith. Some days easier then others !  But it could always  be  worse.  Atleast I  alve and breathing !

[Rani Zemirah]

I'm so sorry you've been having so many problems, Amy, and particularly with people who are meant to be there to help you instead of making you more stressed and angry! I am glad the chest pains have stopped, though!

I'm praying for your healing and comfort, my friend, and sending you courage and strength to help you through, as well! I am so impressed by your spirit and faith during this trial, and I know you have the strength to withstand it. Take care of your self, and get plenty of rest, ok?
