This brings up another irritation...
my neurologist operates on a three to four month programme: he sees patients and then tells them to return in three or four months...
orders tests and tells the patient to return in three or four months to get the results.
I don't know about the others, but I find this
frustrating and sometimes totally upsetting.
When the tests were ordered to see if I might have MS as well due to a lack of muscle control in my right arm and related to my right eye, he told me to come back in three to four months...
this does not exactly give one a great feeling...
and yet he is the best in our area...
When I decided to do this, my own doctor asked if it were a good idea, given my health situation... I looked at him and asked what health situation? if the neurologist doesn't need to see me for three months, I don't think I need to worry... I just packed my pills and my computer passwords and away I went and frankly I think I am doing a lot of good for me... if I could just get enough sleep...
when I go into town this evening I shall get a multi-vitamin and some vitamin C and E... either that or just start taking the same vitamin cocktail I feed my dogs...
funny: I am so careful about the vitamins I feed to them... never thought of myself...
it takes ages to grind up their vitamins and get them mixed into their meals...
maybe time to pop them into my own meals...
thanks for the idea in the other post...
and I shall ask my own doctor for more information....
meanwhile, this is controlling previous urges to have chocolate bars and eat until I can't move I must admit...
could it be that this lets one level off at one's proper weight??????
