...falling through the cracks...

[Guest guest]

Hi all, went to see my new ENT doc today. Fruitless visit. He said they sent him,basically, a brain scan...not a sinus scan. Soooo...if my doc, who parted ways with the clinic, ordered a brain scan...WHY???!!! was I sent to an ENT???!!! ...sigh...So new ENT wanted new cat-scan and to see him in another two weeks. (He'll be on vacation next week!...Ha ha...isn't that funny...NOT!) Meanwhile I am still in pain...going on a month and a half now. I can't imagine in what universe that it is allowable to allow someone to be in HEAD pain for this long. So on the way home venting to hubby, who took a whole day off(for this!?), I wondered when

did I fall through the cracks and how did a brain scan turn into a ENT visit...which means a few phone calls when i got home. First...I call new doc's nurse and she was very confused...and said they saw some pockets in my sinuses and I answered Were these NEW or were they the thickening of my sinuses shown on the old scans...!? She said she's have to call me back. During this wonderful time of waiting and waiting..I now have diarreha...most likely from the excruciating headache and dizziness( and 20 minute drive there and back with full sunlight a blazin into my eyes)...which, Head Pain!!!.....by the way, is WHY I went to doc in the first place...two weeks ago. sigh... again. I get a call back from old doc's nurse. Now she is puzzled and wonders if maybe I should see an internist...I relayed the info that the last time I saw an internist they paid no attention to any of my symptoms and wanted me to have a gastric

bypass. And I was very ill at that time. So nurse2, who was more puzzled than I was, asked who 'I' think I should see. Honestly...not kidding you at all. I said I want to see a neurologist. So then I had to call one after she called back with a name. BTW...the ENT was a bit of a jerk today. I have seen three or four ENT's over the years and they have all been jerks. Do they take training in this.... ? The ENT did a full exam and said nothing about finding anything and said that the pain in the back of my head is probably not sinuses. So WHY am I having another exam and recheck AND seeing a neurologist?...! ....breathe, ,

breathe... I mentioned to nurse2 will she be seeing good old doc and could she ask him who He would recommend me seeing. Guess policy says she can't contact him about that. SOooo i may be in the middle of a flare and I resent having to do 10 years of work all over again. I WILL be having a glass of wine tonight. ...a small one. lol... vent over.....lol S. 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself" ( 16:24 NIV)."No one whose hope is in You will ever be put to shame….Show me Your ways, O LORD, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and My hope is in You all day long." Psalm 25:3,4,5 NIV
