Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I went to a new neurologist today. I wasn't that impressed with him. For one thing, his English was very broken and that is just a huge issue for me. I like to be able to communicate with my doctors. He didn't seem very interested in doing anything but putting me back on meds. He did order a bunch of tests: a corroted artery ultrasound (probably because of my high cholesterol), EEG, VEP, EEG, BAER, and MRI. Ugh! I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but I'm not sure he takes me very seriously. He did prescribe a preventative and another pain med. I'll pick them up, but I'm debating whether or not to use them at this point. I'm very frustrated right now because what I wanted at this point was to clarify the diagnosis so that I could make informed choices about treatments. I really wanted to continue on the natural route if at all possible, but it was important to me to know whether or not my specific type of migraine could be identified because I'd like to be able to inform doctors in the event that I do need medication. Now I'm just feeling like a difficult patient who never wants to do what she's told.
