Re: Anyone else ever make a fool of themselves?

I have done the same thing...... I blew up one time at our neurologist and was totally out of control..... same as you... shaking and out of it for several hours... eventually collapsing into a crying mess. I think it has a lot to do with all the stress we're under. You go along fine for a long time..... and you do get used to whatever your stess level is... but especially if you have these mini-crises to contend with all the time, AND are probably living on less than optimal amounts of sleep, etc, etc, your whole stress center can be way off balance. It has something to do with the adrenal glands. That's how I explain it anyway. I know the feeling.... it wasn't like me at all. I normally can discuss things very calmly..... am fairly articulate and can hold my own intellectually with the doctors.... but this was PURE emotion just pouring out. It's a really interesting experience isn't it? Like something just takes over your body and you just lose it. I think several years of living like this has got me to where it doesn't take much *sometimes* to send a big jolt of adrenaline into my system and send me over the edge. I just started reading a book about adrenal exhaustion....title is "Tired of Being Tired"..... anybody who is continually under stress and *thinks* they are handling it OK ought to read this book and take heed. It'll catch up to you. Anyway, had to kinda chuckle when I read your post..... been there.

Anyone else ever make a fool of themselves?

Now you have to understand that I am not normally like this. I am usually pretty at peace and OK with everyone's opinions. My husband even gave me a Chinese name that means quiet serenity. So where the heck did this come from? I never yell at anyone. It just flew out of my mouth. And for the next few hours I was so mad I could spit. I was shaking and everything.

Am I the only one who freaks out like this? TOTALLY out of character for me!! It will be interesting the next time we visit the doctor!Jen

Ah, Jen -- I've probably made a worse fool of myself.

The fact is, I think I was once as blissfully ignorant

as they are. We're receiving our training in the

school of reality -- they received theirs in the

school or " political correctness " and AMA book smarts.

It was nurses like these who assured me the Hep A

shot was perfectly safe for my daughter who'd had 2

seizures (her first) nine months prior. I trusted

them because I trusted the system -- 2 weeks later, my

daughter developed complex seizures which to this day

have never been completely controlled. Think of

yourselves as providing them with an education. Yes,

you were emotional, but you had a right to be. You

know the truth and they don't. You go, girl! Hugs--D

I havent yelled at my son's neuro yet - but I went crazy on the preschool

workers here when I had my son's intake meeting. They wanted to mix/weigh

all my sons meds and oil there and said I needed to bring it all there

and bring my scale and they would take care of it. I told her "NO!"

and she said "What if you are in a hurry one morning and you mix it wrong?"

Well that did it - I went nuts on her!!! How dare she think that

there is someone out there more capable of dealing with my son than ME!

I do have three other children but I have been doing this for almost 8

months already and I have NEVER mixed anything wrong or forgotten anything

that he needs to have!! I still get worked up even thinking about

it! Anyway - I am sure we all have some sort of story like this and

I agree I think it is mainly due to all the stress we are under trying

to make things better for our kids!
