I have had a busy week. On Wednesday I went to Dr O.G. at 8:15am. Presented the idea of Dr. R. to him. We then had about a 20 minute conversation about medical degrees. Also he said he would in no way turn over my care to another doctor. Well thank goodness that I didn't need the referral from him. I talked to J on Tuesday night and I was going to go to all of the appointments and let them know I wanted to get off all of the medication. 1st appointment down and I ended up getting something else from Dr. O. G. I wasn't sure completely why, what was this going to do for me? I need an advocate, the 1st time in my life and I wasn't able to speak for myself. In addition I presented that I was at my heaviest EVER, EVER!! He look back at my records and said last May I was 2 lbs heavier. So that argument didn't work. And I left with my bag full of samples to add with my collection of pills.
My next appointment wasn't until 9:50 so M and I stopped by Dunkin Donuts and then went to my old job that was down the street. I took them by surprise walking in there. The owner was so uncomfortable he got his stuff gathered and said he had to run to the bank. Quickly breezed past me and asked how I was doing. He knows that he didn't do the right thing by not letting me try to finish out my 2 weeks. From there we were off to the next visit.
Signed in for my appt with Dr. K. G. and I know they set aside 30 minutes for me to talk to him. He came in and always presents himself so concerned. He addressed my visit to the ER the previous Friday. I trust his opinion and can only hope that he has my best interest in mind. From there we went over my issues with the neurologist and Dr. R.. I'm losing my touch because he wouldn't buy it either. I asked his true personal opinion and she said, 'There was nothing to back up the promises that Dr. R was offering. He wasn't saying no, but he wasn't saying yes either'. He did say he WASN'T willing to sign over all everything to them so they could take care of it in-house with their doctor. Next came my Vitamin D level. Because it was so low I managed to get myself another prescription for 50,000IU of Vit D a week. 50,000!!! That number is CRAZY. I was nervous about what he was going to say about my HDL and LDL levels. I promised him that I would work on changing my diet & working out and we would retest in 3-4 months, if it wasn't better then I add another little pill to my ever growing collection. He said that he was going to email his friend Dr. D (a new neurologist) to see if I could get in before June.
All of this blows my mind. I know all of this pills can't be good for my system long term, but yet no one is giving me any answers. it's sooo frustrating.
I came home after a full day and fell asleep at 9:30pm. My head was throbbing. I awoke at 2am and all I could think about was going downstairs and getting a coke and drinking the entire thing, because I was told not to. I took my little snitch M with me to the first 2 appointments and she kept telling me how I can't have and pop, added sugar or fat of any kind. She'll be going with me to my appointment next week and tell if I cheat on my new diet. I guess it's good and bad. LOL.
Yesterday, the real Thursday my head was killing me. It was St. Patty's day and M wanted me to come to the party at her school. BIG MISTAKE! 27 little kids screaming and running around.
So that brings be to Friday. I caught the neighborhood cold. Yuck!! A head cold is the last thing I wanted. I was sick and not wanting to take anything more. Another week has gone by and I'm no further than before. Aaaahhh!
