*THIS IS A LONG POST … NO PHOTOS.. ODD FOR ME.. HAHA. BUT FEEL FREE TO READ IT IF YOU ARE CURIOUS WHATS UP WITH MY HEAD… FORGIVE ANY TYPOS.. I WAS IN A HURRY…*

Heres a quick update on the numbing head.
Last night as usual my head began to go numb. This time it started before even laying down for bed… when I did try to lay down (around 10pm) it was awful.. just a pounding head ache… tingling from the base of my head up to my crown.. my ear hurt… and worst of all my neck was killing me!

I ended up getting up…
watching Premonition (BTW I hated how it ended!!!)…
Then started watching 1st Wives Club (by this time it was 2AM)… my head was STILL asleep even though I was sitting up in a chair… rather than laying down on a sofa or bed.

By 3 AM I was exhausted and tried to lay down again… it just got worst…
By this time Travis woke up.. and asked me what was wrong… and I just broke down.

I dont know whats wrong.. but SOMETHING IS WRONG.

We dont have a Doctor yet (like a general physician)… so we have no way of getting seen by a Dr. soon.. or getting a recommendation for an MRi. We did talk to my Chiropractor who said he may can get us seen by the local Dr. sooner than what they said. They told my husband the earliest they could see me was the end of JULY! Since I was a new patient.

I figured though last night while in pain that I may as well TRY and get something done at the ER… because even with our Chiro helping us , I figured it be a few days…

I go..
Check in…
By this time I was scared. My head got worst and worst… just intense tingling and pressure.

Long story short…
The Dr. treated me with absolutely no respect.
Told me that he believed my condition was related to NO SLEEP (and said “after all you are in the ER at 4am”) … wanted to prescribe me an anti-anxiety pill! I explained to Him over and over that I sleep fine at night. Most nights getting 8-10hrs… but that tonight was just really alarming to me and thats why I came in… not because I wasnt thinking clearly. He then said that “without sleep you make choices like this…” I told him “My husband wanted me to come as well.. and he slept.” He went on laughing saying that if his wife was up all night he would be shooing her out 2… I mean how unprofessional!!

I explained I am not one to jump up and go to a Dr. After all the last time I saw one (besides a chiro) was when I had Taite. I DONT go to Dr’s often.. not even w/ my children.

He still just looked at me like I didnt know what I was talking about.
He did x-rays.. after I told him “I just had xrays at the Chiropractor…”
He told me “well a Chiropractor needs to um.. well stick to making peoples back feel better… not determining things like this.” So basically said that the Doctor who cared enough to even TRY to get us help doesnt know a thing… atleast he knows something IS WRONG and would be willing to try his hardest to find out. Rather than be a stubborn jerk about it. *Can you tell im a bit tiffed!*

The Radiologist was even surprised the Doctor didnt atleast order me a C-Scan… He was atleast a nice Radiologist…

I even hinted to the Dcotor to do a C-Scan.. he wouldnt.
He told me to “Go home.. lay off sitting at the computer.. get some sleep.. and stretch your neck some.” He blames my head falling asleep from lack of sleep and sitting wrong at the computer. Yet the week my neck and head decide to go berserk was the week im out of town.. not using the computer.. hmmm…. Not to mention I use to work a desk job in a PR Dept. and for Statefarm insurance.. and sat for hours… and hours at a PC.. with no problem. I dont spend nearly as much time as I use 2. I also know how to sit up straight.

I was furious. I was there from 4am-8am.

THEY DID NOTHING FOR ME. The Dr. was rude… inconsiderate. PROBED MY NECK LIKE A BOXER. I mean what the heck was he doing? I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

Thankfully when I got home… Travis got to talk to our Chiropractor again.. and I can honestly say he is the nicest Dr. we know. He has taken more time to help us than any other Doctor. It just goes to show how some Doctors CARE and some just want to get paid for prescriptions given to ER patients. The Chiropractor was able to get us an apt. with the General Physician (who has the authority to issue me an MRi) on Monday… that is a lot sooner than the end of July…

I am very thankful for this.. although the thought of waiting until MONDAY is painful to think about … All day long my head has still remained numb… worsen when I lay down, as usual.

Something is wrong with me… I dont know what.. but I know this is not normal.
If I was one of those type who jump up and forever think they are “sick” id question my sanity.. but I dont do this… something is wrong…

We cant go get an MRi on our own.. otherwise our insurance can say they wont pay it.. since a General Physician didnt authorize it. Sadly our Chiro doesnt have the “authority” to issue it. :-( otherwise he would…

Thank you all for your prayers…

Im thankful my husband can take off some time from work to help with the kids.. because I will be honest.. my head hurts so bad that to listen to toddlers/babies get at each other.. and pick up babies here and there would do me no good. I am just miserable.

Travis was suppose to leave Monday for a trip w/ our church youth group (for 6 days)… he may have to find someone to go in his place.. because he and I both are concerned I wont be able to cope without him if this continues… not to mention make it to a Dr. monday w/ both boys feeling the way I do.

Pray the church understands…
