Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Just spoke to Dr. McDonnell at NIH. I am scheduled to do the NIH EDS study Dec 13-14. I plan on flying out either Friday or Saturday so I can visit friends and family in the area on the weekend, and then go to the study Mon/Tue, returning home Wednesday so I can be back in school on Thursday. One of my classes ends Dec 7, but the other one runs until the 23rd, so I don't have much break between classes. We start up again January 4. I'll probably have to bring the homework to do at the hospital, but I am sure there will be some down-time between tests during which I can work class stuff. If anyone else is going to be there around the same time, let me know if you want to meet up. I am going to try to get in touch with Kiersten Sistek while I am there and I also have some family in the DC area. -Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Barb: Congrats. Just thought of something funny. I have never seen a group so eager to be pricked, prodded, gone over in minute detail, x-rayed, scaned, interrogated re family details, etc. etc. This syndrome really does make us pretty weird. Most people hate this stuff and would totally run for miles rather than spend money to fly there, for 2 days of it no less. I'm sitting here wondering if this will really change the doctors we have to deal with locally, and particularly their ability to acknowledge this syndrome. I AM CERTAIN BEYOND A DOUBT THAT EACH OF US SHOULD BE TAKING OUR FAMILY DOCTOR WITH US SO THEY CAN NO LONGER CLAIM LACK OF KNOWING HEDS and that doc should be obliged to go through 1/2 the tests.

My first thought was that I'd save enough on my co-pays for all those tests that I could afford the airfare! My second thought was spending ONLY two days getting all that & not having to run to 20 different doctors, offices & appointments would also save a heck of a lot of time & searching for parking spaces . & I have applied, waiting to hear. I'd put off my hip operation if needed...especially if the tests would give the hip doctor additional info to work from! Liza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I've never had a heart echo - and haven't asked for one, as I know he would have asked why I thought it was necessary, and until the conference this year, I wouldn't have had an answer. Does this make sense to anyone else? AMEN, Lana! I've had to always tell the docs what to check...and usually I'm right even when they aren't sure. But when even WE don't know what to look for all the time, I can't expect the doctors to have any more info. Liza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 That would be fun sometime Patti, we will have to keep in touch, so when time frees itself we can make some plans. Hugs Autumn _____ From: Patti Melcher Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 6:25 PM To: ceda Subject: Re: I'm in the NIH Study Dec 13-14 Autumn -- Hey, you're not that far away -- maybe when you are on break or have some free time, we could meet - say in Augusta?? Mental health rehab must be so interesting. I, myself, am seeing a therapist and have found her extremely helpful in helping me deal with VEDS. Anyway, I hope all is good with you and yours -- Hope to hear from you soon, Patti I'm in the NIH Study Dec 13-14 Just spoke to Dr. McDonnell at NIH. I am scheduled to do the NIH EDS study Dec 13-14. I plan on flying out either Friday or Saturday so I can visit friends and family in the area on the weekend, and then go to the study Mon/Tue, returning home Wednesday so I can be back in school on Thursday. One of my classes ends Dec 7, but the other one runs until the 23rd, so I don't have much break between classes. We start up again January 4. I'll probably have to bring the homework to do at the hospital, but I am sure there will be some down-time between tests during which I can work class stuff. If anyone else is going to be there around the same time, let me know if you want to meet up.
