As time fly's by one has to wonder if all the delays caused by others have any impact on life. for example the time I spent goinng to doctors for years searching for diagnosis for problems that were very real but being told there was nothing wrong with me. All these professionals, with degrees that had all the answers that got them their big paychecks but had no intention of looking for answers to my problems. Most looked at me and said, "it's all in your head".
I agree it's all in the head and apparently what is in their head was a big lack of interest in helping me find what was causing the results of my complains of lack of co-ordination and balance.
After years of living with Friedrichs Ataxia, diagnosed after some 15 years with DNA test, I've experienced bouts of vertigo three times, that is also all in the head, I didn't bother goiing to a doctor as their all too familiar answer of it's all in your head would cost me money I rather not give again.
No wonder health care is so costly, paying large salary's to doctors that can't diagnose problems so they keep peddling drugs and keep you coming back. At one time I had elevated blood pressure so drugs were prescribed, Upon seeing a different doctor he said my blood pressure was high and prescribed a different drug. This went on a third time and when the forth doctor prescribed still another drug , now none of these doctors bothered to ask if I was taking drugs for the high blood pressure, I pulled three different drugs from my pocket and asked, which ones do I take? He took all the previously prescribed drugs, I hadn't taken any of them after the first one I tried made me feel and have strange thoughts, and threw them out.
For sure! Doctors have often treated me this way "it's all in your head", even made me wonder if I was nuts. Had a cousin 'flooded' with doctors telling him all was good yet prescribing this, that and the other. Suddenly he died. Autopsy showed he was eaten up with cancer throughout his body. Does one call this incompetence or not? My opinion is: It's the money they are concerned about. Linked to your blog via Billy Bob's.
