So I had my appointment yesterday. 2 hours in public transit each way and all I get from it is being frustrated, and it was 7F, -13 with the wind. We agreed I am gonna stay on the Sibelium for a little longer, since it was only a month. But then, when I asked him about Pseudotumor Cerebri I got the "typical" treatment: my MRI was normal (in his opinion it would show - Wacko  ), I am too young and my neurological exam was fine (what the hell? Mad  ). I kept telling him that from what I've read, the MRI must be normal and so on... He just stuck with his no. It looked a little like he wanted to wait for the second opinion doctor, what his opinion is gonna be. BTW after I asked him about it he left the exam room and went to his office and didn't come back for at least 5 minutes, I bet he was looking at what it is.

 

It is frustrating, there is this condition, a really simple little thing, and if I have it I can be helped, my headaches might get better so why not try it? Why let me suffer, he himself said that I cannot live this way and yet, he doesn't want to help. If the second opinion doctor won't agree to looking into it, I will ask my GP.

 

And on top of everything I started getting these horrible, really painfull spasms in my esophagus, they can last hours. Yesterday I couldn't even eat breakfast because it hurt so much. Today I am little better. When I asked the pain specialist (my GP is on holiday till monday) he said to take something for acid reflux. It has nothing to do with acid reflux, I don't have it, when I eat things that should make acid worse it doesn't get worse. I think I will have to make an appointment with my GP, I am not looking forward to it, the required tests don't look so appealing.
