Ok, can anybody help with this

February 13, 2006

I usually don't post much, usually when I have a question. I tend to

read what everyone else writes. I think that is because I hate writing

about myself and it also makes me depressed. Also, I don't want come

across as feeling sorry for myself (because I don't), but I am so

angry right now I could scream.

My family doctor (a friend) got all my medical records from my

doctors. She wanted to see what they had to say about me because she

is trying to help me. Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I

am. I found out today that they are wondering if I have MS along with

the neurosarcoidosis.

Also, I found out that in 2001, I was diagnosed with pulmonary

hypertension and mitral regurgitation. Gee, the doctor who did the

tests and diagnosed me told me that everything was fine, but then sent

a letter to my old family doctor telling him what he had found.

Again, no one told me. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE DOCTORS. If I did my

job the way they do their's I wouldn't have one. How can they

diagnose someone and just not bother to tell them and get away with

it? Doesn't the law apply to doctors? I actually feel invisible to

them. They can talk about me to each other, but they can't talk to

me.

I am so fed up with doctors, and I have been in the medical field for

22 years. Maybe I was lucky, but the doctors that I worked for were

not like my doctors. They did their jobs very well.

My friends and my family doctor are trying to get me to apply for

disability, but I hate to because I like working (at least on the days

I feel like it), and it is all that I have left.

I was told by someone that if you have pulmonary hypertension you can

get disability with that diagnosis. Does anybody know anything about

that??

I keep wondering what the next diagnosis will be that they " forgot " to

tell me about.

Sorry to be so negative, thanks for listening. I really do appreciate

it.
