Same old answer....

Once again I have had an unsuccessful doctors appointment. It took along time because the only thing the doctor did was talk. He talked for so long with out stopping that I just got really confused. I will give you the short of it. One, he said he wouldn't be able to treat me because I dont get the average 8 hours and 15 minutes of sleep. I usually get around 7 hours maybe 8. I've been sleeping like that my whole life. He was saying that my problems are from not getting the average amount of sleep. I told him I've been sleeping like that all my life, so if sleep is a problem, then why do I have the problems that I have now? He told me that he didn't know.

He also wouldn't do further tests for lyme on me. He kept saying its a "rare" chance. I don't care if its a rare chance or not, its still a chance. He talked for so long I dont even remember much of it now. He kept on going on so many different tangents. Then he asked if I wanted some tests now or at a different date. I told him now just to get done with it. Heres the thing, he spent so much time talking about what I probably don't have, and he didn't even explain what I was getting tested for. So as I waited to get my blood work done, I asked the nurse who was taking my blood if she knew what she was testing me for. She said some letters which I'm sure is a abreveation for something that basically translated into some thing with joints. I think. I don't know.

I can't express how frusterating it is to never get any answers or leads. What the doctors don't understand is how long this has been going on. We tell them but they just don't seem to get that being dizzy for 9 months isn't normal. I don't know if I've ever said what is wrong with me in any of my blog posts.

Heres the short of it, It started out about 9 months ago. At first I was just a little dizzy here and there. Not a big deal, I could handle it, I could still drive. As time went on, the dizziness hasn't stopped. I've been dizzy non stop for 9ish months. As I write this, I am dizzy. Now I know dizzy is a term thats sorta of broad, but if I explain what kinda dizzy I am, its gonna take a long time lol. Also, I have ice pick headaches and joint pain. It's shooting joint pain or lingering. It just depends on the day. Which is another thing that is frusterating. I can't find a constant. Anyway, thats the jist of it.

So whats next? I have a appointment with a Lyme specialist in april. I guess what bothers me the most is Doctors keep say its not Lyme, but they won't give me anything else that it could be. And I have only been tested once for Lyme. Keep in mind theres 300 different strains. I don't know if I have Lyme or not, but it would be nice to at least elimate it. Anyway. This is probably long enough.
