Hello all,

Haven't slept in the past three days due to pain and the recent news of a friend passing away in his sleep this WE.

Finally had the strenghts to go see my familly doctor (whom was on holliday since October 12th) to get my treatment which he should had received in the form of a medical prescription (hope it's the correct term.) from the Specialist (yeah, again, don't have any better word) I had seen on October 11th and "couldn't" give me the prescription in hands. For a treament that should start with a two month period, the sooner the better you'd think. I can barely walk nor stand on my feet alone, so imagine when I went to the three stories building with no elevator...After ten minutes of wall hugging and my wife trying to keep me afloat, I finally reached the waiting room.

Eleven people before me, waited two hours in a room crowded with children (and we all know how children like to play in every places :p). The doctor comes in the WR to say he stops consultations at 9:30 PM. At the time I write this sentence, it is 10:30 PM. He finally sees, when he comes out between two patient, that I'm no longer able to stay on my seat (shaking, and sweating -pain again-) and give me a free pass.

He proceeds to tell me he never got any prescription, letter nor medical report from the specialist he directed me too. We call the hospital and are greeted by a stressed and aggressive secretary that tells us that it's none of her concern and since the specialist isn't available we should stop calling and get lost. We learn the specialist is available only two days a week but she refuses to tell us which and hang up.

Helpless, my doctor tells me he won't be available for the next two weeks and that he cannot give me anything. So I go home, crawling the corridor, falling to the floor and staying there a while until my breath comes back. The trip home was already difficult enough without realizing that once again, those so called specialists do not take my case seriously. It has happened before, they see me, they tell me everything they think I want to hear and never pursue any medical records.

And for christ sake, a close friend of mine died two days ago, while on a holliday he took to get a bit of fresh air for this year of work. Got with friends and enjoyed 6 hours outside of town just to pass away in his sleep. He was perfectly healthy and showed no signs of illness (that was the message I edited in my previous post, but heck, it's too hard today).
And here I am, still alive, complaining that I can no longer walk correctly (aka alone), can barely speak, and use my hands. What's the Divine justice if there's one ? Anubis sure is blind to have taken a healthy, gentle and working man instead of a slowly dying youngster that can roughly play videogame and type messages to let himself believe everything's fine =)

Sorry for the long faced post, needed to let it go of my system, the sleep deprivation, the absence of painkiller and the inability of expressing myself verbally are driving me nuts. I'm glad I can still somehow play, it's pushing reality away for a while.

It is now 11:26 PM, yeah, I can still type a message in less than an hour =)

Sorry to hear about your pain and loss. I don't know what your health problem is but when specialists cannot find anything, maybe your problem is rather psychologically. It's called psychosomatics. Maybe a psychiatrist or psychotherapist could help you. Just a thought.

Oh, unfortunately, I already went that road, and I'm still walking (well...) on it.

I'm not so sure myself of my affliction but I've now seen 5 different specialists, not mentionning any other doctors I've talked with through the years (such as my psychiatrist) for different reasons . What is funny, is that most of them seem to agree on the same medical condition when "off record", but none of them put it on paper. Unless any of them do that, whenever they go silent, it's looping all over again.

I'm not blaming anyone, even though it seems so. I'm sure they have their reasons. It has simply been four long years, I'm still young but I'm in a worst shape than my 77 years old grandmother (which I'm often leaning -litterally- over when I need to go somewhere :))

But thanks for your concern, in lack of progress today, I will undeniably have to turn to your hypothesis again.

EDIT : Oh, and please, take no offense in my answer. I've been told many time IRL that I'm agressive or on the defensive. I'm simply lacking the ability to form coherent thoughts since it began four years ago, which is even more visible verbally that in writings, if that's possible. =)

No offence taken. :)

There's so much I want to say, but no point in speaking

The police in Sweden are proposing that citizens should identify themselves with something like bank ID to use the Internet.

This is nasty on so many levels.

I think Sweden pretty much tossed in the towel many years ago. We're just now seeing the fallout.

For myself, my updated bitch fest concerns the second (yes, second) deer that I hit with my car in the last year. Thankfully this time it looks like only some minor bumper damage to the car. Sadly, bambi was not so lucky.

nvm

Why is it that eeeevery day that some come in here just to add BS?

"Bodacious Soliloquies"?

AND my mother just melted another microwave safe dish.

Fourth one in the past three months.

"But they don't melt in the microwave!"

And the punchline, last week I had to stop her....AGAIN....from putting metal in the microwave.

Microwaves and metal do get along though.

I love Metal but that was just a little too Napalm Death for me.
