C.C,
Sorry you are going through this. Hope today is better for you. I don't think patients rights exist. You do have the right to refuse medical care but I think that is it. Wish it were different. Always thought it was myself until I have had to learn the hard way.
Good job for trying something new. I thought that was a good choice too. I am sad that you were not able to do it. I am pulling for you. I stick to just meditation at home and I try to get out for a few hours a week. Other than that, for me, I just have not healed to the point of any sort of normal functioning. I hope you others do. I have had maximum blows to the head with 8 concussions. I have to learn to "live" with this disability and chronic pain. I hope some of you can pull off a recovery to mostly normal functioning.
