I just spoke to my old T who diagnosed me with DID. It actually made me feel comforted. He remembered me, (not at first... He said my name sounded familiar but once I told him about the DID and when it started he remembered me) he was so nice, we talked about all kinds of things and he told me if this new T doesn't work he would love to be my T again, but over the phone since he's in Florida and I'm in Colorado.

He also explained that when they are trying to diagnose people, that seizures are one of the first things to pop into a doctors head when they hear of blackouts and to not be discouraged by the pdoc because he didn't know the details of my situation. I told him that I began to question the DID because of all of the bad things I have heard about it, the way the doctors want to "cure" it and the way some of the Ts rule it out within the first couple seconds of meeting me.

He assured me that it is DID that I have and the reason the other Ts have ruled it out so quickly is because it is so rare and they don't know the details, but if they were to know the details that they wouldn't rule it out so quickly and would probably eventually admit to it.

I'm still trying to get my medical records, my old T moved to his own practice in 2005 (I saw him in 2003) and he left his records with the office if he wasn't still seeing the patient so he no longer had them. The T who took all of the records when HE left had them so I talked to him and he said he would check in their shed (since he is retired now) today or tomorrow and let me know if he does have them. But if he does of course it wont be that easy. He's going to need a signed release form from me. Yay lol...

Anyways I am feeling pretty good right now just talking to my old T. I forgot how wonderful he was! I wish I wasn't so ignorant and ran away last time. Oh well...

Just wanted to let everyone know the update I guess you would call it! Thanks all and take care!
