I would like to say how much I appreciate all of you who have responded to my posts and to others' posts throughout the years. Your input has given me more help and hope than the 63 plus medicines I have taken throughout the past 20 years for migraines, depression, and fatigue. I realized the need to post this gratitude after seeing a dr yesterday (I was desperate with fatigue) Let me sarcastically thank this doctor who yelled at me for "frustrating the hell out of her" when I asked what tests she was about to request for me; and seemed insulted when I did not understand why I should have another complete blood count panel test when I had just shown her an exact copy of the same test I had done less than 2 months ago. ...Well, it was too good to be true: a dr who accepted new pts...close to my house. appt the same day....arranged for someone to take me....dr was in my health plan...but lab was not in my plan...BUT it did not matter becuz I was not going to have any lab tests without consulting with my SUPER pdoc who I am seeing next week. Well, at least I got a vitamin B12 shot. At least, I THINK it was a B12 shot... I guess I might have said enough to be inducted into the Please be Civil Club at Psycho Babble... I WAS actually trying to turn my frustration and anger into a POSITIVE thing.. but I cannot adequately put into words how much you dear people mean to me.This wacko doctor made me realize how much smarter and caring you all are:and to total strangers. I know this probably isn't the purpose you would have chosen for your life; but it is a purpose that is saving lives. Thank you.
