A month later, it
"hit" again and again with NO warning but that
time it never went away! I haven't vomited since then but
I'm still very dizzy and "off center". The
doctor put me on all kinds of motion sickiness pills
including Antivert, Promethizene, steroids, and a few
others but nothing really helps.
My memory has been
affected too, more the short term memory. I can remember
things thats happened YEARS ago or months ago but I can't
seem to remember things that happened a day ago or even
hours ago. That gets REAL frustrating as my memory had
ALWAYS been so good.I mean even to date I can remember my drivers license #, my S.S # and even my bank account # but if you asked me something that happened a few hours ago I wouldn't have a clue!
I get very depressed and have even attempted suicide. No one understands how I'm feeling because to look at me I "look"
fine. There's no signs of anything being wrong like if I
had a broken arm or something. So its hard for people to
believe that there IS something wrong. I can't do allot
of stuff like I used to before this all happened. And I'm
not the only one that this is affecting, my kids suffer
because of this also in that I can't do allot of things
with them that I'd like to do. AND since ALL of this happened ALL of my doctors either retired or just plain stopped seeing me, my primary care dr., my physical therapist, and my Phyciatrist whom I really spilled ALL of my thoughts and feelings with and he even broke down the walls I had builted around me because I am a real private person! That kind of makes me believe that IF no one cares then why should I? On September 05, 2005 I saw a BRAND NEW neurologist, so far so good.
Oh hell I can't take this anymore....when I'm at any kind of get-to-gather like with the family or just friends I just sit there and don't say a word because the way my mind works now the things that I'm thinking don't come out right either that or my speech is so bad no one understands a word I'm saying so instead of me trying to explain what I said I just don't speak!
I have tried getting ahold of all the agentcies..."State for medicaid, And the federal government for medicare perscription drug help" but did any of them listen NOOOOO so they too all turned their backs on me.....I mean I wasn't asking for help I was BEGGING FOR HELP.
A
diagnosis...finally!!
