Hey Guys/Gals Mike here, been having one of them kinda years were you feel like a lost sheep.
My wife has been very ill now going on 13 years, just yesterday finally found out whats wrong with her, to make a long story short 10 years or so ago after she had been being in increasing pain for a few years our doctor started doing alot of tests on her, from her symptoms we thought she may be developing MS, we asked our doctor to test for that and he said he would in the next round of blood work, well 10 years later and you know my wife is nearly crippled now, she started getting numb down her intire left side, so 2 days ago I took her to the E.R. thinking she may have had a stroke.
Well after a flurry of tests including a MRI of her brain, their chief neurologist came to us with test results and told us matter of factly that my wife is suffering from advanced stage MS, that has been affecting her for more than ten years, I guess they can tell that by the amount/size of the lesions that are on her brain.
So yesterday afternoon my wife and I went to see our family doctor to demand to see the tests results from all those years ago when he checked her for MS, you know how it is with doctors and tests, you normally do not get a cal about a test if nothing is wrong, which we never got a call, but yesterday after demanding to see the test results, he told us that he NEVER did the test...yeah welll we were shocked that he told us that even though at that time we had what many considered excellent health insurance, he told us back in them days that the insurance company would not pay for the test, so instead of asking if we would pay for it ourselves, he just never did the test...
Well I tried to make it short, but you know I'm sitting here weeping over the fact that had we known this 10 years ago that she had the beginnings of a disease that would have eventually cripple her and it has, we would have done the things in life that we would have wanted to do sooner when she could physically do them, now that time has come and passed because some cheap insurance company could make a better profit..
SO them worries are why I left the site earlier, that and certain cliques, I am to patriotic and passionate about my country, so aslong as I can keep myself out of the political posts I'll be ok lol.
