Well, I got the time wrong for the appt with the neuro but luckily wasn't too late and was able to see him. He immediately said that my loss of memory and confusion were symptoms of depression and asked if I was on meds. I told him about the wellbutrin and how long I was on it and he said it wasn't working and I should change. I informed him I can't take SSRI's and he then said I should just have ECT. It's quick and it works is what he said. I said since I knew I'd have memory loss with ECT my pdoc and I decided it wasn't a good idea. He shrugged and checked my reflexes. That was the extent of the visit. He ordered an MRI, EEG and blood work. Had the MRI today but set my alarm for the time of the test rather than when I needed to get up. I woke up an hour early and was able to make it but didn't have time to do my usual morning routine (like shower) and had PT right after the MRI. I was late for PT but with the snow they weren't too busy. I graduated today and my PT said it was always bittersweet to have a bird leave the nest. He's the best. I've had 3 months of PT for my neck after disc replacement. I left PT and went across the hall to have lab work done. Next thing I know my PT is standing next to me. I'd forgotten to take my home exercise routine. grrrrr I won't know anything till next week but I'll let you know what happens. Thanks a bunch for caring and sharing, Tumnus. It really helps.
