Mayo Clinics/ Sleeping Pill Scare
 
Meetings and deadlines has had me gone but needed to check in. Called Mayo today and based on the IVIG try and continued worse breathing I was offered an Appointment in June. My daughter doesn’t know yet. So worn deeply today and struggling. called my pharmacy and was told I had a prescription for a sleeping pill!! It was for sleep clinic test that old neurologist ordered from when I was in hospital for IVIG in March. Seriously this guy was without a decent exam or conversation giving me a pill that best case would cause a fall and worse case stop my breathing!!! He thinks that because I walked to the toilet in hospital after steroids and IV fluids I am better than I say. He actually said he saw me as like a gotcha. He is such a jerk moving my arm is his idea of a neuro exam. I admit this has shaken me. I am at deep risk until I am better diagnosed. At least the breathing part which I am serious NO ONE gets here in Iowa. In 2008 my pulmonologist did.. He sent me to Mayo. He moved away. The good ones do. Sculptor 44

It is more difficult to do daily tasks so getting here is still not happening as usual. It seems clear that Gammagard has affected my Renal system. But at same time I have turned a corner finding my breathing better allowing me to sleep longer and more comfortably. I called the neurologist I did a Televisit with in November at Mayo to report the Gammagard and generally declined status. I got a call back same day. I tried to push what happened a year ago when I was was so much worse I collapsed and had to come home before testing. I need to add here that I didn’t agree with the path that appointment was gonna take me and I was too sick to try to fix it. My daughter was scared and furious. The pulmonologist a year ago at Mayo was not my original one. While new guy gave us important information he didn’t interview me. He was very disrespectful. Anyway I have to fix the mess from last time tho someone at Mayo gets it as I was changed to a new Path with this current neurologist. Sculptor 44
