Or so I have been told. My MRI of my head shows some weird stuff and my cognitive issues are THERE and my hearing issues are THERE and my balance is.....well, you know....THERE. Yet both of the Neuro docs I've seen along with 2 PCP's (I switched once) tell me that perhaps I should see a Mental Professional. They say all my problems are from long term birth complications and that I've always had them and there's nothing that can be done. That I need help in acceptance.

Hello! I have NOT always had the cognitive issues nor the bad balance issues I have now. I have not always used a walker (a sporty red one ) because I'm afraid to walk long distances unaided. Yes, I have slight spastic CP but it hasn't stopped me from walking all over town....I don't drive due to visual stuff. They won't give me a true diagnosis so that I can begin the Disability process. Heck, my first Neuro doc stated that she would not consent to help because "all you would do is lay in bed all day and sleep."

I am so done with doctors right now and it's making me crazy skeptical. I'm becoming convinced that NO ONE can help me and if I had even more serious problems that it would be pointless to see a doctor here in our "rural area" (that's what insurance calls us even though I live in a college town in Central CA) because they would rather see you kick the bucket than lift a finger to help.

Yes, I am new here. I have acceptance issues. There is SOMETHING going on with me but no one wants to help. Oh, but they sure do want to over bill insurance and collect their fee.

Rant over.
