how did it go with your consiler I hope that you had a better day today

Hello hunter,how are you doing today?I hope things are going better for you today

Yes I do take meds for my depression, lots actually. 200 mg of Zoloft 200 mg Welbutrin and 10 mg Abilify. And up until the TN started they were working great. The couselor said he'd see if he could do anything, not likely I suspect. But he did say he'd talk to my school to try to convince them it's a legitimate disorder. Apparently they are thinking about failing me out, just because they don't believe me (with less then 3 months before I graduate). Even with all the doctors notes and all my probems, its total bull. and my face hurts very very much today... But the bell just rang thank you all so much

Change of story, little m night shamolon twist in todays events... Had an attack that lasted almost an hour. Im at the neurologist office now, wish me luck... Please..

Im sorry Hunter --let us know how the apt goes

Well my neurogist, different then the last one, told my mother she thinks its a school avoidance plan. So I'm pretty angry along with being in tremendous amounts of pain. I am already on tramadol and topiramate for my headaches from the west nile(which I found out today may not have had encephalitis). And she told us to back off the baclofen slowly then increase the topiramate from 75 twice a day to 100. This neurologist may have been the most irritating person in all of medicine.

I would be a bit upset too Hunter. Most people who come here to NT, are discouraged and not getting enough help. I don't know anyone who fakes it. Besides school is fun most of the time when you feel good. If this doctor didn't take you seriously, you may have to seek another one. My first neuro was terrible!!!!!! Second one was fantastic and took care of my issues 100%. What did your family think of the comment she made? I hope you are OK. ginnie

I'm sorry that things are going so bad for you right now but at times it takes a while to find the right doc I'm sorry that the one you went to today was not a nice person,and your school needs to understand that your are in pain and why would anyone fack being sick it's not like it's fun or some sort of game I do hope that you can find some help and that you know that we are here to help in any way that we can

Im still hurting today, no doubt remains from yesterday. But my mother is thoroughly angry with this neurologist. Everything she said was contradictory to everything we've ever been told by any other doctors. She sounded like a total idiot. I'm just glad that, in a couple weeks, my nice and helpful neurologist will be back. So I can get an actual treatment plan. But hopefully I will be fine in a couple days:hug:

They think I'm faking to get out of school. But for wat? To go to the hospital, that's wat we always do, because we have to get a note. And then I miss even more of my day
and don't get home till late, after being poked and prodded for hours at the hospital. Why would someone do that, miss school just to stay even later and be even more bored at a doctor's office? Personally, I find it highly offensive. An insult to my character. Not only that , this disorder has caused me to show weakness to strangers in public. A hatred of mine. Crying in public, not a weakness to cry but I think you should be able to hold it in in public. But I hit my maximum pain threshold yesterday, it wasnt possible not too... Thank you, just being here is a great help!:hug:

:grouphug:
