Well, I don’t know about all of you, but I have had my share of Dr. Idiots! I have had many doctors so far in relation to my MS. One doctor that I had in Florida had MS himself. He was a non-believer in medication for MS called inter-feron injections. He said “it doesn’t cure MS, why take it”. I thought that it was a strange comment to say because injections can help prolong the progression of MS. Some people do not believe in injections and are more onto homepathy treatments.
My current neurologist now I call him Dr. Idiot! because he is an idiot. He has no compassion for anything I have to say. When I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes – oh great! another automimmune disease I have to deal with. He simply laughed and told me I was fat and and I needed to lose weight and that I would be fine. Can you imagine the shame I felt when I left his office. I was so ashamed of myself because I was called fat by Dr. Idiot.
One time I went into his office because I was having a really bad MS attack and I had to wait a good 15 to 20 minutes to see him. I was in excruciating pain – the pins and needles and this time buzzing in my ear. He came into the office made me do finger movements, touch my nose, walk back and forth. I complained of buzzing in my right ear – freaked me out I thought I was going to be deaf in that ear. He said oh by the way, you are having an attack. YA THINK? No! Really?
He decided I needed to be put on intravenous medi-soluable which is a form of steriods. Oh my gosh! What a huge trip to be on these. Talk about wanting to crawl out of your skin. This treatment made my sugars go up to 290, normal should be 90. Had to go to the emergency room. What a pain in the neck! I was crabby, snapped at everyone for 5 days while I was on this treatment. I do not know if I will ever do this type of treatment again.
Gotta find a new doctor soon, he is really a pain and an idiot!
