I dint like how the doctors, 1st assumption and diagnosis was to give me a therapist, and relate all my neuropathies as mental problems, attention seeking, druggie.
My experience was just awful with her, she is nice, but she deadest on implying i have some kind of mental problem. Multiple times on the visits she was not interested in the neuropathy i was complaining about, she was more interesting in finding a way to put me on the spot, saying i have mental conditions, asking about family problems, life problems, I got nowhere in the neuropathy issue. She called last week to quickly dismissed the LYME diagnosis, did not mention any other tests that could be done. The final insult was that she did not believe my loss of sensations and neuropathy existed so she gave me an eye specialist, which i did initially complain about eye issues, but my main concern were the neurological conditions. Its like she believe that my nerve disorders, are result of my "its all in your head" problems. i find it odd that she touches my skin rashes without gloves, isnt that unsanitary.
Large cities tend to have better physicians specialist, or specialist centers, because of the larger patient and profit base for insurance, and profit.
Kaiser, an HMO in bay area, california, have all specialist within a few buildings scattered across the city. Depending on the insurance, or HMO group the service is the best near thier headquarters or the state your in, if you try to find the same service, like kaiser in other states, the service and insurance administration is much worst i heard. same goes for aetna.
none of my loss of sensations and loss of smell have even go away yet. My neuropathy pins and needles keeps cycling, every week.
I suspect it is an autoimmune, or damage to the brain that controls sensations, temporal and parietal lobe, maybe from the aNTI-CHOLINGENIC I TOOK. BENADRYL is too powerful of a drug to be used as OTC, and other similar in effect to it. it affects the brain like some other more potent drugs treating depression, or anxiety. i was on the generic benadryl for quite some time before i noticed the smell loss. or it has something to do with my skin rashes (contact dermatitis, unknown cause) that developed last year.
