Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Oh dangit...not this too!!! As of this afternoon I have this horrid metallic taste in my mouth and NOTHING is cutting through it!!! Finally was enjoying eating for the first time really, and now this. Oh, and my hair is coming out in clumps. Whine, whine, whine. Did have a good visit with my GP this afternoon. This is the same doc that didn't quite take the issues seriously before and whom I had sort of left to go to the internal med doc. Anyway...internal med doc didn't want to refer or deal with specialists, so he wasn't gonna cut the mustard, so after some thought and reflection felt like going back to the GP was the thing to do. Figured that he would NOT make the same mistake twice, and after all, I like him and didn't want to go through trying to find someone else right now. Unfortunatly, my rheumy isn't able to be a primary care doctor for me, so I had to have someone. The GP's office is convenient and he has capabilities to do xrays, all my blood work, and found out today he can even hook me up with a Halter Monitor so we can see whats happening with my heart!! I'll still get in to see a cardiologist, but we can atleast get this part out of the way ahead of time. I *think* the GP got a bit reemed by the rheumy after my visit there back in August, atleast thats the gist I have gotten, and so I was not real sure what kind of ground the GP and I were standing on. Everything went really well!! He was very attentive, asked lots of good questions and was going to go through the now inch thick file thats all mine tonight. He will get me hooked up to the halter monitor on Thursday for 24 hours, re-did a bunch of blood work that had been abnormal and needed checking again, will make the referral to the cardiologist for me, gave me a script for the lovely yeast infection I cannot get rid of, and we decided to try Wellbutrin to see if we can get a handle on my mild depression AND smoking all at the same time. It really was a very productive 40 minutes or so, and he was very sympathetic and understanding of how icky I am feeling right now. Thanks for listening friends!! :-) BIG hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
