The MRI results showed a congenital small arachnoid cyst in the left middle crannial fossa.
It also showed an anatomic variant of a part o my brain but is still considered normal.
The office EEG came back normal.
He doesnt believe I have seizure-like activity because the 30 minute EEG was normal. He have me a prescription for a tricyclic antidepressant!!!!
I am already on one antidepressant and anti-psychotic! Plus, that type of antidepressant is know to be with the most risk to cause seizures in people who have or may have Epilepsy. Once I found out what that drug was( Elavil), I told my mom that I refused to take it. Sue calle the office soon after and the doctor was informed. He just said to come back in a year for another MRI.. -.- so much for getting rid of these daily jerks!
Plus, my psychiatric condition is stable and delicate in regards to drug usage and doseage. That's what I have a paychiatrist for. I dont want that neurologist prescribing me something that's known to cause drowsiness and suicidal idealization at first in some.
Do you think that the doctor doesnt believe me? If i do have Epilepsy( what is probably JME ), then I guess I'll just have o wait until I'm hit with a tonic-clonic to get diagnosed.
I dont think my famiy even believes me anymore. My sister is like.. " you dont have Epilepsy! My muscles twitch violently too- I see them jump." but thats not my case, my limbs and/or body move. I dont see my muscle in my thighs jump, the leg moves.
So, I'm just stuck with all this.. Until I see the neurologist next summer. I think he believes I'm making them up since he is aware of the drugs I'm taking. This is not the first time medical personnel have been prejudiceD against me. In April, at school, I fainted and bumped my hea on a wall.. Had this bump on mty forehead. The school nurse didnt even call my mom or arrange papera or a refferal to the E.R. I was the one to inform my mom. The nursejust left me there sitting on a chair. When other students came in complaining of a stomach ache, she would lie them down on the two beds there and give them a lot of attention. ( the nurse knows of my self harm). And, when the school chaplain walked in and asked what happened, she asked if I banged my head against the wall because I was mad! I said no and she still asked me if i was sure! Ugh? SERIOUSLY???!!!!
Discrimination indeed.
So basically, just because i recently left the life of a cutter behind, every medical condition or situation that arises I am either looked at as if I was faking or questioned about it to see if I had cause it!!!!!
When I hady wisdom teeth surgery on April, i had a reaction to the general anesthesia after icame home. I had acute urinary retention. We went to the E.R. and the nurses were laughing and the doctor questioned it.. As if i was just holding it in. They emptied me out... Mu bladder was full with 1 liter of urine!
After that.. I still couldnt pee and they denied me catheterization until I was excruciating pain. I eneded up wailing in pain on the E.R. Bed until they decided to put in a catheter. With an already distened bladder( injured and stuff) even less uring caused inmense pain. They emptied 800mL the second time.
I was ignored that night at the E.R. And was dubbed "the one who DOES NOT want to pee.. Its because all they would lool at were scars!
Im just really mad with everything.
