I have considered bringing my wife with me to appointments to advocate on my behalf, Its funny along with some days not being able to have a conversation very well, its also just the describing what is happening. When I say "nothing looks like it should" "Things dont move like they used to" "sometimes movement makes me sicks, sometimes not" most people look at me with the look I am sure a lot of you are used to, the blank stare or the raised eyebrow Some Drs opthos included. Its at those times I just kind of give up. Its a battle.
