Just wanted to say I do not agree with the word idiopathic in your diagnosis. That simply means they are too lazy to work at finding what's up. Instead, just throw drugs at it to calm it down whatever it is. In my journeys I have discovered the so-called idiopathic stuff really isn't all that hard to figure out. They just don't have the time or the environment to do that. You pay the price.
You have a good point there - after brain MRI's, tests for lyme disease, tests for diabetes (A1c's) and more, they just stopped testing. I had one high A1c in these years of testing, (pre-diabetic) and although other A1c's have been normal thereafter, I can't help but wonder if measures to combat a possible future diabetic condition may help, and thus here's the culprit??
I also dropped the ball, as when I had a brain/C-spine MRI to rule out MS, a tumor was found in my left frontal lobe. My neurosurgeon 1st called it a stage 1 Glioma, then changed her mind after the 2nd MRI a year later (no growth), and called it an unknown "benign mass". As to why I dropped the ball, hearing your doc tell you that you have a brain tumor, you really don't care much about the pain in your feet. You're thinking you could die..... Since then, my neurologist said it was nothing.... just needs to be followed w/ MRI's
I can't afford any more testing, even the MRI follow-ups, as my insurance has drastically changed for the worse and would bankrupt us. Just don't know what else to do.....
thanks for your input!
