Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I probably caused some additional stress -- but while that horrible doctor's manner was less than human, his answer was accurate. The reason I got better treatment for a while is purely luck with doctors -- I had a couple who were willing to fight a bit when needed. Currently, I'm under Medicare treatment only for my oesteoporosis. Everything else -- well, for instance I have nerve damage and no one cares to find out why, or even bother testing me again to find out if the damage is ongoing. Unless I pay for it, of course. I'd like to see a surgeon again, four years later -- but it'd cost me big time, to probably be told again there's nothing he could do. So I don't go.... There are two reasons I'm not back in my deep depression. The first is, the medication works. Whatever it costs me, it works. Second, my job now is having EDS, so I search all the " alternate " paths. Like, acupressure has helped me drastically with migraines, which the system cared less about. And a couple days a week, I AM back in deep depression. I hate this, I hate this...it's all I can do to tolerate it, and despite appearances I know I'm fairly strong, so I can imagine what it does to others, and I hate it.
