Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 , I am so happy for you and thrilled that a Dr. was willing to listen and was understanding!! He deserves a medal!!!! We can only hope there are more like him!! Sue Recently my family doctor retired and a new doctor replaced him. I had to finally go see him because I suspected I had a sinus infection. The pain was as bad as a tooth ache. I had sinus surgery several years ago with all my sinuses infected, but it never felt this bad. I was nervous what to say--I didn't know how much I wanted to talk about mold and chemical/fragrance problem. Since I have had this illness for almost 9 years I have done it all with the doctors.

I had to finally go see him because I suspected I had a sinus infection. The pain was as bad as a tooth ache. I had sinus surgery several years ago with all my sinuses infected, but it never felt this bad. I was nervous what to say--I didn't know how much I wanted to talk about mold and chemical/fragrance problem. Since I have had this illness for almost 9 years I have done it all with the doctors. So when the doctor came into the office I asked him if he had time to hear some of my history. I pretty much told him how scared I am living with this illness, and the doctors don't seem to know much about mold illness. I talked about how all the doctors acted like yeast is no problem. I mentioned Dr. Shoemaker, how they are not telling the truth in New Orleans with all that mold. This doctor knew exactly what I was talking about and agreed with everything I had to say. I told him how it has hurt us financially, and how there are so many of us trying to get help. He did give me some medication for the sinuses and it has worked. I finally could stop taking advil. I never take pain medication, but this was so painful and I am getting ready to move so I needed to be a little strong for the move. The doctor did tell me about a thing at the hospital where you pay according to your finances, but not sure how much they would know about this illness. Or I can see this doctor. He would charge me as little as possible but he said the tests are very expensive. He only charged me 60.00 which is low for here. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 , Wow!!! Thank you so much for posting this. Way to go girl. I am so happy for you that the doctor listened, understood and is willing to help. I have chills right now up my spine. Just the thought of the medical community is finally listening and their opinions (hopefully) are going in stride with what we already know. Fantastic. I'm glad the medication has helped your infection. This just goes to show we are making a difference, our voices are being heard. And we will finally all be vindicated. One doctor at a time........ Thank you, thank you all. KC --- In , " ldelp84227 " <ldelp84227@...> wrote: > > Recently my family doctor retired and a new doctor replaced him.
