My Dear Friends, this is the first time I have been able to come to the computer for approx. two weeks & I am very sorry. Unfortunately I have been pretty ill, firstly with a virus, then my body seemed to go into a collapse which was very frightening for all my dear family & I cannot say I was too impressed either, still feel very weak.
I had to present to the Neurologist Tuesday, that was a complete disaster, I have never met such a rude man, he was quite impossible, now I feel he has some problem as he would ask me the same question about six times, I have told my Dr. about him which is a thing I would not usually do, she was grateful because she has had a number of patients recently who have been very distressed after seeing him but it was hard for her to judge whether they were perhaps being a little emotional, they all left there crying.
I have to have an MRI head scan on the 28th & then return to see him, my Dr said to please let me arrange for another Neurologist to handle it but I am not in the habit of walking away from anything like this, hopefully I will also be stronger.
Girls so sorry for the gloom, I am grateful to still be here, hopefully will slowly catch up with the posts in time. I send my love to all of you, hope you are happy & well. HUGS Doreen.

Whew, it is good to hear from you. We really were so worried about you. When you are dealing with these message boards and you don't hear from a friend for awhile you do tend to get real worried. I am sorry that you have been having to deal with so much and then to have to deal with a silly doctor too, must have been driving you a little crazy. I hope that you will soon be feeling much stronger. We are here for you and I for one think it is a good thing to tell someone how you are feeling.
Big hugs (((((((Doreen))))))) coming all the way to Australia for you from me.

Getting a Neurologist that has a heart seems to be a difficult thing.Just last evening a friend of my was telling me how she left weeping.I pray he is very good at what he does.The only thing I can say is that ALL these men should have to be a patient so they would know how their every word affects us.You would not be "walking away" if you went elsewhere.
You are in our prayers.May the love around you keep you warm.martha
Many hugs and prayers and cyberangels coming your way!

Very strange that last night I was chatting with friends and this particular issue about dr.s being rude was the issue. One gal mentioned that her dr. had never been sick a day in his life; then he came down with cancer (he was an oncologist) and from that day forward his attitude changed completely as did his lifestyle, and he was a far better and more understanding dr. of his patients.
Wishing you well and sending you lots of cyber hugs and prayers that your MRI on the 28th goes along well. Your a real trooper, and I know that you'll get through all this with all the love and support that you have from your lovely DH and family.
Hoping today will be kindly to you and that you will be able to enjoy some pain free moments. Hugs. Bea
