Morning again

It's almost 2:30 and I've been awake again for a couple hours.  I do not believe the pain will ever go away.  Took two pain pills and turned on facebook, played games and the remembered this blog.  Was no sure I could even get in this time it's been so long.

Since I was here last I've been in the hospital twice and had an episode that lasted a week during which I could not speak.  My mind said the words but my mouth came out with jiberish. Went to the doctors again, had MRI, by the next day I could speak again.  Of course MRI showed only normal changes caused by age.  Was sent to the Neurologist several days later.  He only wanted to see the report and did not even look at the MRI, also was not interested in any past medical or neurological issues. Questioned about whether or not I had a headache, when I said that I had, and that I rarely had them, he diagnosis was migrane resulting in side effect of speech disorder.  When I attempted to explain that in the past, a couple years ago that I had something very simular occur only at that time I ended up with a very strong accent and was dx with forgien accent sym, and went to speech tx for almost a year to help with it.  He informed me that he had never heard of such a thing and that it did not pertain to what had happened this time.  I was then dismissed and sent on my way.

My PCP had also requested that I visit with a Psy.  I tried to explain that I did not need to as while this was something going on in my head it was not a psy issue.  But I made the appointment and today I went to it.  My appointment was for 12:30 and I was to arrive at 12:15 for check in.  By 1:20 I ask how much longer, and was told I was next. At 1:30 I ask again and explained that my appointment had been for 12:30 and was told well he is with a patient.  At 1:40 I told them to remove my chart and that I felt that this was extremely unacceptable to be kept waiting for over an hour and I was leaving.  They were shocked that I would leave, but again I told them that this was unacceptale and the I had better not see that they had billed SS or ChampVA.

We need the new system so very bad.  I get so exasperated.  I know that I am not imagining these issues that I have and that I do not have a psy problem..

I seem to be having so many problems with Doctors and even though I know that I have to keep going it is just so very tiring.

Well I know that I was going to write about my Mother but I just had to complain and whine for awhile. Now I'm writing in ittalics and have no idea what I did.  I think I'm going to try to sleep again as my pain pills have kicked in.  Night All
