Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Good for you Dawn. The psychsomatic stuff is just ridiculous. History of medicine is full of illnesses that were thought to be psychosomatic, until they discovered the REAL disease or disfunction. Doctors just have a hard time saying that they don't know, and will blame the patient if they can. Glad you are getting some serious attention. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > <l.gif> > > > > • > > > • > > > • > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Dawn, I am glad you finally got a doctor who will listen to you. That makes a lot of difference. You mentioned that you have gait issues. What is your gait like? I have gait issues as well and some doctors feel that I shouldn't be having that problem. In my opinion, my gait doesn't have to do with the mito. I am glad that Dr. Tick is working with you and you are comfortable with him.

So far I am impressed with Dr Tick. he is not traditional in anyway, which I like. He ahs not wasted his time going over the basics and has dove right into what is important. He told me he may not find an answer, but that does not maean there is nothing wrong. He said there were a lot of tests that need to be done that have not. He gave me an order for 21 different labs to be done at children's hosp in Milw. including a mito DNA test. He also ordered an emg to be done by a specific neurologist who is good at it. I feel so relieved to have someone take this more seriously. I was so sick of getting one-two test every 6-8 months. The best part is he is only 45 min from my home.DawnMedical advice, information, opinions, data and statements contained herein are not necessarily those of the list moderators.
