Seems like some scary symptoms to have after hitting your head!<br /><br />I've had situations like that before - when my PCP's thought I just had long lasting stomach issues from having foodborne illness and when multiple PCPs thought I just had allergies, when I have more complicated issues with similar symptoms. I only got real answers for those issues after pushing to get referred to specialists - gastrointerologist and allergist.Felicia Fibrohttp://www.feliciafibro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-83798310980250196052011-10-17T19:39:01.709-07:002011-10-17T19:39:01.709-07:00I'm glad that the whole ordeal seems better fo...I'm glad that the whole ordeal seems better for you Selena. What a week for you! Sounds to me like your postponing the surgery was very wise indeed. Yet I'm not surprised to hear the emerg staff shuffled you off. In Canada *any* trip to the ER is a 6+ hour ordeal where you may or may not get to see that doctor until that 6th hour, get a few mins of his/her time and shuffled out the door. My hubby went in with chest pain and it was still the same damn thing. Healthcare is just not what it used to be at all.<br /><br />No one told me that my chronic pain could mask minor injuries I may have. Makes me want to pay attention to things I do with eyes wide open from now on!Shannonhttp://www.livingwithfibromyalgia.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-69834087440819924902011-10-17T11:51:23.627-07:002011-10-17T11:51:23.627-07:00Yes, everyone seems to have an opinion and they ra...Yes, everyone seems to have an opinion and they rarely seem to all match up. Everyone is certain they are right and the others are wrong. <br /><br />Kind of troubling if you ask me.Migrainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473496432554201124noreply@blogger.com
