I had the scan today. Just waiting for results now. I'm not expecting them to find anything. I'm probably going to set an appointment with my awful pdoc tomorrow for a few weeks from now to go over the results and see if he thinks the diagnosis fits. I'm guessing it won't, but who knows what he will say. I don't trust his judgment anyway.

I got the results of the scan today. It was clean. So i don't know what's going to happen. I will see my stupid pdoc in less than 3 weeks to see what he has to say about the diagnosis. I haven't really been hallucinating ever since I started eating more which makes my geodon actually do its job. If I wasn't eating as much I wonder if I would still be hallucinating. I just don't know. I don't even know if my pdoc will take that into regard.

I finally saw my pdoc today to discuss the results of my scan and see if I have the diagnosis and his response was "I don't know". Great. That was a huge waste of time and energy. It also leaves me hanging not knowing what I have.

I'm about to move cities and so I guess I have to start from scratch at whatever place will take me. If it took him 9 months to come to the conclusion "I don't know" about both schizoaffective and adhd I'm really starting to wonder how long I'm going to have to wait for answers.

At least I'm now done with my ****head pdoc who I've lost completely all respect for because of what an *** he's been to me. I went without care for 2 months just because I can't stand the guy and he has nothing helpful to say nor would he DO anything to help. F him.

Sounds like my doc completely useless. Hopefully you find someone else to help just tell them about your tests so they can request the results and check them out.

I don't think the test would show anything because they were just looking for tumors or other physical abnor.alities that could cause hallucinations. Nothing showed up which is good. Yay no brain tumor! (I kind of guessed as much). But you can't just SEE schizoaffective on a CT scan. You have to diagnose based on symptoms.
