I am ill w/something, called neuro

Maybe you have a kidney infection or something like that; that needs antibiotics. I hope you feel better soon. 🙂

keep us posted

Hello Cara,
I am just wondering about something, you posted that you called neuro’s office. Did your GP send you to see a neurologist and since you are here on our forum, does your GP suspect GBS or CIDP? If your GP or a neurologist think that this is what you might have, you need more then blood work done in order to diagnose. Bloodwork is usually done just to rule out other possibilities. These tests are done to diagnose…EMG’s and NCV’s, lumbar puncture and MRI’s. Keep in touch with us, we become a family here. If you post where you live, the foundation or one of us will put you in touch with a liaison in your area and we may even have a member in your area.[IMG]http://www.wtv-zone.com/CyberGranny/Bears2/Hugs4You.gif[/IMG]

Sorry, to hear that your not feeling well. I too get that pain in my lower back near my kidneys off and on. I’m not really sure what it is, I try to drink lots of water but it just seems to come and go.???? I had GBS in July of 2005.

Hi cara,

I know at least, that since my onset 7 years ago, when I get a bug of some sort, which hasn’t been often, it hits me 10 times harder then ever before. Hope you get relief soon.

Hi cara,

Agin, who’s paying who? Only the patient can stick up for what they want. If you wanted more time with her, and had more questions or statements to make, then look her in the eye and say it. We all experiance this with docs, me included. I had a doc rush me so bad, that he was out of the office without me even knowing that was it. When the nurse came in to button things up, I said just this “Where did the doc go?” Nurse said to another patient. “Get his ass back in here, and until I say ‘appointment over’, he’ll answer my questions and sit here until I’m done.” He was back in the room in under a minute, an apoligized, then he finished MY appointment, not his. This is one area where it has to be all about the person and nobody else. Not being selfish, it’s personal survival. You, are not at fault, or wrong. You are being taken advantage of, and I hate to see that kind of thing.

Man, I sure love your attitude Racer, you sound a lot like me! 🙂

Hey,

Having been a service advisor for years, the guy in the white shirt and tie you see when you get a car repaired at a dealership, I’m amazed at the priorities people have concerning repairs on a machine. The body is only a machine too. Most of my customers were women. Because I built up a trust by being honest, and not putting on razzel-dazzel shows with wording, leaveing a woman just as confused as when they came in. How long would anybody stand for this type of repair? Just give me your keys honey, and we’ll tell you what we want to fix, and when we want to fix it, and if your original complaint isn’t taken care of, make another appointment and we will see if we can get to it. All on your dime, of coarse. Not even a millisecond. You know what would hit the fan instantly. The word ‘sue’ wouldn’t be far behind either. Yet, when we take a machine to a doctor to get fixed, or to make run better, what happens? What’s the difference? A woman, or man, will argue with me till the sun don’t shine anymore, and say nothing to a doctor. If their soooo smart, and are god like, then why can’t they fix your car too? Having doctors as customers also, outside of their field, I found many to be pretty stupid in a lot of ways. Does that make me a god to them when they need me? Do I get to intimidate my customers just like they do? I’ve had this conversation with docs too. I had a doc once bring his $100k M-B to me for some repairs. The next day when he was picking it up, I said the cars being washed and vacumed, and to wait in the waiting room until it’s done. No problem. Then he kept coming up to me asking when it’s done, and after the 3rd time, I said, now you know how your patients feel sitting in your waiting room. In a way, that kind of pissed him off, but he still came back. Oh, by the way. The car was ready for pickup 2 hours before he got there, but what the heck. I don’t get mad. I get even.:)
