My experience-Harsh doctor
Long post incoming:
I’ve been trying to find a “fix” for my vestibular migraines for 4 years now. I’ve tried almost everything under the sun with no luck. I’m on the waitlist for Mayo Clinic and hope to get in soon.
In the meantime, I have to keep going to neurology appts to keep my disability status at work. This last time, the doctor yelled at me for not wanting to try certain meds. (I am that 1% that get horrible side effects…it’s why with my bipolar meds, it took 7 years to get to the right dose cause we had to go up 1/4 of 25mg each time cause of my reactions. ) The doctor knows this about me which is why we’ve avoided some medications. However, this last visit left me in tears. She said that I was never going to get better if all I did was look at side effects. She said that this was all that was left for me to try since I refused the other ones she wanted me to try. I get what she’s saying but I also know my body. I know that I’d get the adverse reactions…it’s just how it is. Hell, the last medication I was on had me dissociating hard and she had never even heard that as a side effect…as soon as I stopped it, I stopped dissociating.
I’m just venting. I’m frustrated beyond belief and very hurt by what the doctor said to me (I paraphrased everything lol). I ended up crying the whole way home cause I just felt hopeless. My mom just kept saying “trust yourself. There’s a reason your mind is telling you not to take those drugs”.
I’m pissed…I’m hurt…I’m frustrated…and I’m just fucking tired of it all.
