Hi Everybody,
I went to my pain doctor today and he just said that the MRI is conducive to people who have migraine headaches. He is not real educated about brain injuries. He has always just treated me for chronic pain. I have just stuck with him because he is always positive and just encourages me to fight my way through the pain and other symptoms. I like him for that reason. But I realized I needed to see a neurologist when I started having seizures. As well as I was denied disability because I need to give them evidence of my impairments. So after the neurologist diagnosis which totally made me understand what was going on with me I have been going for neuropsychological testing. So I can provide evidence of my impairments. I think I will get a lot more answers from the neuropsychologist when she is done evaluating me. She seemed to think the MRI had more significance than what my doctor today said. To answer your question Mia, I have just been too damaged to figure out what kind of doctor I needed to go too. I just thought all these other symptoms were from having such severe chronic pain. I did get my doctor today to fill out an impairment rating for me for disability. I will turn that in with the neuropsychologist report and I have already turned in my MRI , letter from neurologist and some random notes from me and from people who have been with me when I have sustained concussions from passing out. I hope this is going to be enough evidence to get me on disability. I don't know what else I can give them. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. I really can't work or I would be. I hate being without money. But what kind of job can you do if you can only leave your house for a few hours on good days and have a hard time even getting yourself dressed?
Hope you are all having a good day. Spring is here!
Much love to you all,
Brain
