Don't you just hate doctors?

Jan 30, 2010 03:50

So the last few days have been pretty stressful for me. On Wednesday, while sitting at work, the left side of my face started tingling and my left arm went numb. Thinking I was having a stroke or some other terrifying shit, I immediately left work and went to urgent care. The urgent care doc was very nice and made me do some strange physical ( Read more... )

Go here for puppy cams.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope that even if the symptoms are frightening, the cure will be simple. Now here's my attempt to soothe you with my second hand story: there's this woman whose blog I've been reading for a few years, who suddenly became prone to something akin to half-seizures. Really scary, right? She'd black out and wake up and wonder what the fuck just happened. So now she takes anti-seizure meds and is doing fine. Migraines are terrible, and I don't know if there is a best way to cure those. If the neurologist can't help you, I will personally track down Hugh Laurie and make him treat you.

PUPPY CAM!

I was thinking about House while sitting in the ER. I was like, "I hope they do a lot of crazy tests," but then they didn't. TV has MISLED ME.

I'm so sorry you keep having to have these ridiculous scary medical procedures. This is ricockulous and they should really know what they're doing.

I'm hoping this is like a pinched nerve from too much typing or something, but even if it's something more serious, you'll get through it and come out the other side and it will just be yet another dumbass doctor story to tell your friends. Please update us when you know what's wrong.

Yeah, doctors are sort of infuriating to me in that way. But I guess people in urgent cares and ERs are like "You're not dying right now, go away" and I guess I can't blame them. So I'll go to the neurologist on the 10th and see what s/he says. I just hate having to wait.

Doctors are fucking useless unless you have the one thing they wrote their dissertation on or by some fluke they Baader-Meinhoff their way to a diagnosis.

I hope the tingling has gone away by now. I still say a little mary jane is the best cure for a migraine or migraine-related issues (even Eric Schlosser says so).

Moar adorable animals.
