Nystagmus?/I give up!

[Guest guest]

I truly don't think I can deal with all the stress in my life any

longer....I give up! A million and one things are coming at me from

every direction....I don't think I can do it. This major concern

with my 4 yr. old son which is getting blown off as usual, kids at

school are picking on my (2nd grade) daughter at school since her

return from a tonsillectomy....and the school is doing nothing to a

boy who hit her in the head with a backpack full of books (on

purpose!)....a funeral last night, found out my best friend's mother

committed herself to a psychiatric hospital recently for suicide

thoughts (I kind of understand how she feels)(I will not do this, but

understand that feeling of despair).

Still not heard from Frim today. I sent him an e-mail asking him to

call me to clear up some major confusion about where we might (some

day) been seen and when. I understand he is majorly busy, but I've

been talking with him since last Friday evening and still nothing.

My health is going wacko, of course....I'm having my seizure-like

spells that sometimes happen during high stress (among other times).

My marriage is quickly going down the drain from all the stress too.

I've tried all the suggestions of giving my husband the benefit of

the doubt....don't know if I can keep it up.

I tried as nicely as possible to tell him that I'm not feeling well

because of the stress for 3 constant weeks. I asked if he could deal

with the kids tonight and fix a frozen pizza....Heaven forbid! My

kids are acting out because no matter how hard I try to hide it, they

see the stress...even though husband says this is not possible!! Dah!!

I asked if we could let some things (like the fight over picking up

toys) slide tonight and of course that caused a problem for him too

and I got smart remarks about that too! I am getting the pounding

headache and the horrible pain I get that shoots up my spine to my

head....never found out what it is yet.

Now, we had an opportunity to just get an MRI of some sort done that

the original pediatrician we saw ordered....it would be Thursday...2

days! My husband refuses to get this done because it isn't the

correct type of doctor ordering it. I completely understand this

point, but on the other hand, if it's going to take much longer to

get some sort of advice of a doc. somewhere from Frim, then maybe we

should have just kept this appt.

At least we'd know something about his symptoms. I'm trying so hard

to be patient, but it is the most difficult thing I've ever done in

my life! When they know we've been told that it could be from one

extreme (tourette) to another extreme (brain tumor)I don't understand

how anyone could take their time, just in case.

I'm about ready to just take him a couple hours away to an ER...tell

them what's happening....and go from there. Now that this jerk of a

husband has sat and read everything as I'm typing it....he says we

may as well get the MRI ordered by the regular pediatrician done

Thursday.

I do understand not wanting to have to put him through it more than

once if we end up referred from this first pediatrician to someone

else and they don't like the MRI done. As I've said before, that's

why we wanted Frim's advice....but I didn't think it would take so

long to just find out where and when....that much would thrill me.

If I had to wait for several days or weeks at least I would know

something. I will not bother Frim anymore. I'm beginning to feel

like he's tired of me bothering him....can't say I blame him. You

guys probably are too! Can't blame you either! Thought I could

handle all this, but not so sure anymore. Thanks to everyone for

trying so hard to help. Goodbye!
