I am so shocked and horrified by all of ur history--it is scarey and sounds SO famililiar to me. I have been battling the meddical ppl for close to 15 years with all kinds of unusual, rare and serious medical issues and--I can see the pain it caused in my life. and can empathize with you and all u have been thru. As soon as you can write all ur medicine u r taking down--take it to ur doctor and disscuss EACH one--I did this--and once I became more proactive in MY treatment I went from 36 pills a day to now just 7-8 a day. It was to the point where I had to take this pill becuz of that pill and becuz of the side effects of this pill I had to take this pill, I was a human guinia pig for years. the docotrs didn;t have a clue what to do with me; I finally found 6 of the best specialist for all my ailments--and me becoming 200% proactive in ME and MY care has made all the differnce. We as patients expect each of our docotrs to treat us correctly and with the right tests--but they have to do so much these days to prove what ya have or don;t have--it took a nuero specialist at vanderbuilt--after 4 years--to finally diagnos me with MS--I have SLE and have for 25 years--it bothers me some--but I kept having seizures--come to find out it was epilepsy at first--I was treated with massive doses of seizure drugs--then he decided I had MS as well as arachnoiitis. My rpimary issue is four auto-immune deseases--one is bad--two is horrible and as my rhuematologist says four shud of killed me years ago. The whole issue with docotrs is they THINK they are perfect and non-human and IF they make a mistake--they will and can and shud be sued if it is true malpractice. I had fractured my back three times --an inexperienced orthopedic doctor id an expriemntal procedure call KYHPHOPLASTY many years ago--failed to tell me it was experiemntal and I failed to ask any questions--I just wanted pain releif. Long story short--the MMPA(bone cement) that he used extravasated outside the vertebral body and now enconpasses my enite spinal cord and is right up next to my aorata and can cause an anuerysm at any time becuz the beating aorta rubs on the MMPA with every beat of my heart. This left me with worse pain than I had from the fractures--and I do recall him telling me it was q quick easy procedure that shudn't take anny longer than 30 45 minutes per level--I was in the operating room for nearly 6 1/2 hours and in recovery for 15 hours due to the horrible pain--I ended up attempting to sue--it was going well--then he --the surgeon was diagnosised with termainal cancer and died. I don't want anyone to have pain or hurt--but KARMA did come to mind. I had an open and shut case and if any one has ever tried to sue physician--it is a very polical adventure and gnerally speaking you have to go out of town to attorneys who have less political involvement and don't have the overbearing pressure from the "big whigs" involved in the specific hospital or doc group. I am so sorry for all you have been thru--but it osunds as if you are getting ahold of your issues and regaiining some autonomy in urself.
