finally a good doctor appointment
Today I went back to my family doctor. I have been going to him since I was in 3rd grade but I had not been to him for about 2 years while I had moved away. I usually dont like him. He always seemed kind of slow to me and I never trusted him I guess because for the longest he diagnosed me with everything he could think of accept seizures and ever suggested a brain scan. It took me having the grand mal and being transported to UNC to finally find out what was going on.
So yeah I was not really looking forward to seeing him but I woke up this morning and said today was going to be a wonderful day and it was. My appointment with him was like a breath of fresh air. My dad paid my brother to chauffeur me around today and my doctor filled out my forms to ride the disabled van here so I shouldnt have any transportation issues if my license gets suspended. Anyway it was just so refreshing talking to him. I explained the change in seizures to him and he too said that the seizures I have been having lately sound like keppra seizures. Who knew too much medicine could cause more seizures? Go figure.
He also agreed that I should not even think about Abilify and he told me I probably don't need xanax if Im taking the klonapin twice a day now because xanax and klonapin are in the same medicine group but klonapin is also anti-seizure.
Lastly I told him I was scared to go back to the surgery doctor because he wants to put me to sleep and look up my butt to see whats causing the constipation even though I've changed my diet. Im scared to be put to sleep because I dont want to have another seizure and I remember almost having a seizure in November 2012 when I got a suprascapular injection in my shoulder which is the day the seizures started. Well my doctor today agreed that I probably dont need to be put to sleep, Im probably only constipated again since I started the iron pill, and I would be better off taking a fiber supplement than the lactulose laxative and amitiza the surgeon prescribed.
So today was a success. I finally had a more productive doctor appointment and didnt leave with a bunch of prescriptions and questions
