Don't want to be nervous about my appointment, yet want to share necessary information, you KNOW.
I need to.see a neurologist because my speech is mumbled and I fall a lot especially to the left. My issue is I'm on 5 medications for my mental illness which took years and years to get a cocktail of medication that helped. I now live upstate my psychiatrist is located downstate. When I was admitted to psych up here they wanted to switch me to lithium and take me off my controlleds. My primary physician also mentioned lithium. Both my personal psychiatrist of 17 years and myself totally disagree. So I'm really not mentally able to handle another dr trying to adjusr medications that have absolutely no knowledge of what I've been throughout my life like my psychiatrist does and no I will not explain my life history and start from.scratch again.
That's wonderful!
I have an appointment with my neurologist tomorrow to discuss pain. I have CIDP, and the pain recently moved from my feet and ankles, all the way to my knees. I'm also having balance problems.
My neurologist did surgery on my cervical and lumbar and sacrum on my spine and I'm doing great.I have Osteoarthritis 🥰
The last time my physician adjusted my meds it sent me back inpatient within 2 months of the adjustment. I was in a psych unit for 9 days that time. I now have a psychiatrist of whom I love and she has found the right combination of meds that work for me. I have been on them since 2022.
