FINALLY! Talked to pdoc...
| Tue, 02-21-2006 - 3:57pm |
Okay...guess what? I am SEVERELY ultradian cycling...yes, they said those words...lmao! I thought that was so funny...in a sad kind of way.
Anyway...I'm supposed to take 400 mgs of Topamax, which I did last night on my own...again, sad that I tell THEM how to treat me. It did seem to help though. I'm also supposed to check in again in two days, or sooner if I need to.
I got the name of another therapist. I called to make an appointment.
The pdocs, both of them together, say we have to get the cycling under control. Really? Amazing.
They say that it must be really hard for me to function. Really? Yet, I do.
Oh, and if I think I need it, I can add Lithium as I see fit...why do I pay them?

Makes ya wonder sometimes, doesn't it?
I'm the one who dx myself with add/hd...and the tdoc says 'oh yeah, I've thought that too'....um then why not say anything?
God could not be everywhere, so
haha...that's funny. Figures, I firmly believe that sometimes we should just listen to our bodies and not pay any attention to what the docs tell us. With DS I was 2 weeks overdue and I wouldnt go into labor, I kept telling the Dr. that he was too big and that I was trying to go into labor but it never progressed and that DS never dropped, so two weeks past my due date, he did a sonogram and DS had NO amniotic fluid left, then the stupid Dr. asked me if I wanted him to induce!!!! The stupid freaking idiot thought that just because I wanted a natural birth in the beginning that I would still want to induce even after all that. I was like nope..I want a cesearan...so he did it, and afterwards he says "im glad we did a cesearan" because DS had bruises all over his head and was 10 lbs and there was no way I could have had him naturally. DUH! I was furious with him, so when I got pg with DD, I told my new OB exactly what I thought and he listened and things went fine. So yeah most of the time Drs arent any better at this than we are, because we live with it yanno? Why all of a sudden are they saying you are ultra radian cycling..what took so long?

Keli,
LOL....just tell the pdocs that from now on you will tell them how you are going to treat yourself so you dont need to pay them. Dh told me that everyone knows their own body and after you have been through something long enough you know better how to treat yourself. Really, I would do what I thought was in my best interest then discuss it with pdocs and get their opinion because 9 out of 10 times they would do the same thing. Hope all works out for you and that you can get the cycling undercontrol. Take care and be safe.
