yeah, i have nothing witty to put here.
at long last...my neurologist appointment
Posted 01-14-2009 at 03:31 PM by KhanadaRhodes
was a colossal waste of time. between having to wait over an hour to be seen and 500 screaming kids in the lobby i was pissed enough. but the neurologist didn't seem to give a shit about anything. my eeg was apparently totally normal so instead of discussing other options, etc., she just gave me more prescriptions. she even admitted what she prescribed is similar to what i already take. so why switch?
i really wish i could find a decent neurologist in this city. all i did was waste an entire afternoon and $25 for the exact same info my awesome general doctor could've told me.

I feel your pain, my Neurologist is a complete and utter waste of time too. I had an MRI beginning of december... am still waiting for my consultation appointment to come through
Maybe everyone that goes into this area of medicine is a total asshole?
And 500 screaming kids? Sounds fun

u gotta get outa dat town woman.. I am so sorry you have to go thru that frickin crap.
there has gotta be a better neurologist out there somewhere. Can you can get a referral from your general doctor?Posted 01-14-2009 at 05:39 PM by U2Fanatic4ever -
thanks everyone
and i know what you mean emma, this is the second neurologist i've been to (the first one was ages ago for something else) and they've both been bad in one way or another.
and the sad thing is amy, this was a referral from my general doctor
i'm not going to stress about it though, or at least try not to. i can't afford to keep wasting the little vacation time i have going to doctors who'll do nothing for me anyway.Posted 01-14-2009 at 05:50 PM by KhanadaRhodes -
Sorry you haven't gotten any answers. Have you ever been allergy tested? Sort of a shot in the dark but I know some foods can trigger them.
This is the first time I've been to a fancy blog, it's sort of freaking me out...in a good way.
Posted 01-14-2009 at 09:04 PM by redkat - thanks i've not been allergy tested in a long time.

How frustrating. I hope you get answers soon and feel betterPosted 01-14-2009 at 11:09 PM by kafrun -
Don't give up. If there's something wrong, you need to know. Can you go back to the doc who gave you the referral, explain how frustrated you are and ask them to refer you to someone else?
Love the new lookPosted 01-14-2009 at 11:50 PM by beegee -
Perhaps you can check with the local hospital for neurologists/recommendations? I think they are the group who are the least "people-friendly" people (no bedside manner whatsoever). At least that's what it seemed like for my sister & my husband's neurologist back in L.A. Hopefully he's happy with the guy he sees now.
Hope you find the answers you needPosted 01-15-2009 at 04:00 PM by Lila64 -
sorry khan.. this just plain sucks. I would seriously consider getting tested for allergies and also as someone mentioned go back to your doc and give them the third degree and say you want an answer and if they cant give it get them to give you a (another) better referral!Posted 01-15-2009 at 10:43 PM by U2Fanatic4ever
