Ok, so latest news according to my co-worker who's wife worked with Dr Digre is that Dr Digre is a very kind, warm, and wonderful person, but she's also booked 6 months out. But the woman who works the front desk is a real witch with a capital B; so instead of simply telling me that she's booked 6 months out and will call me in a few months she was horrible to me. They also tell me she's worth the wait and she WILL call me. However, I don't know if ANYONE is worth the wait. Granted, the suicidal thoughts have subsided, but that's in large part due to the fact that I finally feel like someone cares and wants to see me - and that is my current neurologist Dr. Reichert.
So we'll see... if she calls in 6 months and I still have a chronic headache (please, God, don't let me STILL have a chronic headache 6 months from now!) then maybe I'll consider seeing her. But my suspicion is that if I still have a chronic headache 2 months from now I'll be getting Botox injections and on my way to surgery for neuralgia.
Oh sweetie! I didn't know you were going through this! I haven't done a very good job of keeping in touch {my Christmas card got sent back to me because apparently you moved}. I dealt with horrible pain in my pelvic region for 6 months and I was on Lortab for 4 after I fainted from the pain. Finally, my OB/GYN gave me Cymbalta to see if maybe the pain was neuropathic...miracle of miracles...no pain the day after taking the pills. I've been on it for over a year and I'm still doing good. I have viscosities on my uterus and ovaries so there will always be some pain...but no more blinding pain with no diagnosis.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know that I know what it feels like to be completely at a loss...when even doctors don't know what's wrong. It sucks. I'm sorry!
Well I knew you had headaches but I didn't know it was so bad. Chronic pain is the worse because no one can understand it unless they too are suffering. Uncle Craig used to know a Doctor that handled chronic pain. Maybe you already know of him but call Craig to see about this Doctor. You are in my prayers, every single night. I love you.
