Remember my daughter Beth in your prayers this week she is extremely discouraged and disheartened. She saw a neurologist yesterday who told her all her tests are negative and her seizure like episodes are from stress, so she should see a counselor. Beth promptly told him she already does see one and has been.

As a result Beth is very upset and discouraged. I am trying to get her an appointment with a doctor who use both western and holistic medicine.

Good luck. I can't understand some of these doctors. Well actually I do. It is all about the money (sadly). If they can move 30 people through with simple issues why work on 1 with a hard one. $$$

Anyway good luck. Tell her that if she knows something is wrong with her then forget about that doctor and find another. He is the one with the more serious issue not her.

I will remember your daughter in my prayers, but tell her to not be so hard on herself. It is easy to become discouraged when the doctors don't have an answer. It is not her fault.

Everytime, I went to a doctor for my son and they didn't have answers, it felts like such a setback. I began to question everything and every flare. Then I want to dredge up everything all over again and start from the beginning. It is a major blow to one's sense of reality and self. That is why I said tell her to not be hard on herself. She will get beyond this doctor and when the answers/treatments actually begin to fall into place, this neurologist will be a distant memory. We have been through four already in the past year, and are looking for a fifth.

Don't give up even if you have to step back, regroup and start anew.

Take care,

Judi

Tell Beth not to give up and believe in herself, she knows her body, most neurologist do not study dysautonomia. A cardiologist might be better able to help you. I went through the same thing, I was told by a neurologist it was all in my head, then I found three other cardiologist who diagnosed me with Dysautonomia. IT is important that you believe in her, my parents didn't and that seemed to make me worse. IF I can help my email is la745773@mindspring.com Lynn

How is Beth? Any better? I am concerned.. Lynn
