Dr's visit

[Guest guest]

I have never been so disappointed in a doctor's visit as I was yesterday. I have a young female medical doctor that is the sweetest thing. And yesterday seemed to be a day of doctor visits for a few of us. I had the biopsies of the lesions on my shins and a granuloma in my R side on Monday of last week and she got the reports to me, I don't know if they were the final reports or not, but she informed me that I didn't have Erythema nodosum but Keratosis, that just happens to be on both of my shins, and when they started I had horrid bone pain associated with them. Then the granuloma's that cover my abdomen are not granuloma's but fatty tumors, which she said was benign. While this is good news I am somewhat shocked as my physical condition seems to be worsening daily. I go Monday for the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, and after that is done my young doctor told me that there really wasn't anything she could do for me. She thinks I'm depressed, which I guess is true, but I'm mostly scared that no one is taking my problems as anything but depression. I really don't want depression listed as one of my diagnosis, because I don't feel that they will believe me when I say my back is killing me or that I can't stand longer than 10 minutes without having horrible tremors and near falls. And to top it off when the doctor left my room, I got dressed started out the door and became totally confused as to where I was. I knew I was in the doctor's office but I didn't know how to get out to the lobby. I guess I was imagining that too.

Elodia, I think Dr Baughman might be in my future. I just don't know who now I would have him call if he thought I was still suffering from NS or something else. I have worked as a nurse for 25 years before getting sick, and I've never known depression to make you unable to walk, why would I want that? Anyway, put me into the rant category and play a little Jimmy Buffet for me.. OK?
