Grrrrr....Doctors - NPR

in Parenting after 35
Well I've been dealing with a lot of neurological symptoms lately so I had a MRI April 5th. I went back on the 12th for the results and am told I have Arnold chiari malformation. So they are sending me to a Neurosurgeon and tell me the treatment is surgery then send me on my way. Well, they call with the appt and it is May 20th. It's 5 weeks away and I feel like crap now and have a multitude of questions. I have found support groups on the web but I don't have a clue on the severity of mine. I know some of you have dealt with the doctor waiting crap but it really sucks. Thanks for letting me vent!

    Oh no!  But at least you have a diagnosis now and there's treatment.. even if it's several weeks of torture until then.  You'll be back to your normal self very soon!

    I'm so sorry to hear you're having such serious health issues. Is there anything they can do for the pain until you can get in.  Also try calling a few times to see if there are any cancellations, they may be able to get you in sooner.

    (((hugs)))

    Left Hug  Maybe call and see if you can get on a cancellation list where they will call you if they have an earlier opening.

    Sorry you feel so bad. You should call the office once a day and check for cancelations.  I am taking LO to have a birthmark checked out, and told them I would like to be seen sooner because we are changing health insurance in July, and we are not sure if they will want to do surgery.  Office told me to call everyday around 10-11am. Most people cancel their appointment early in the morning.  Good luck!
