Got to work today and when the @#$%^& arrived I told him about my other doc appt. He looked at me point-blank (and with a witness) and basically said, "You know the budget is going to be seriously cut and that's all I can say."
WTF? He just threatened to fire me because of my health!
So I'm crying throughout the following:
I thought my back doctor was a neurologist. Nope, a back surgeon, so bye-bye $30 and all I got was him saying I needed to see a neurologist.
Since I'm in the same complex, I drive over to my GP's office to see if I can get a referal for the neurologist I've seen before. They can't find any record, all the way back to 2002.
So I go over to the neurologist's office. I'm not in the system (too long ago), which means I have to start as a new patient. Which means I have to wait a MONTH to see him. So I decide to see his associate. I'll see her MONDAY AFTERNOON.
The various front desk people kept saying - if you're in that much pain, go to ER. If finally said, it would be pointless to go because there's no neurologists there and all they will do is give me pain killers, take the money I can't afford to throw at ER and tell me to go to my regular doctor.
So I went back at work, in pain and half-numb, couldn't eat and waited for my rheumo appt later today. I got my job done.
I decided to report the incident, as well as prior incidents. Have to write them up tonight and turn it in tomorrow.
Con't: I got to my rheum and was in tears again. They took me back into the room immediately. Rheum read both pages and I stumped her. The pain in my back really doesn't match the affected numbness/tingling places. However, lots of my unrelated symptoms point to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She's put me on a very very mild dose of a Valium-like drug (Xanax) to help settle my brain enough to fall asleep. She also thinks I may have a disk problem because of the pain but I won't find out until Monday afternoon.
So I'm to drink lots of Gator-aide to keep my body chemistry in-line and not drink so much water because I'm washing those good parts and such away.
