A continuing issue for almost my entire life .. some major drug reactions during procedures --- sadly the diagnosis was that "it's psychological" different situations different medical people -- different drugs. As time went on. in each case, history showed these would fall in the category of "Big Oooopppppps" They were wrong every time --- try Thallium on for size which was used in a heart procedure or Novocain with two incidents that could have killed me.. I went to Mayo on and off over time, Mayo was the first medical org that acknowledged issues with Novocain up to and including in their formal intake documents -- thus the reason I started going there more often. This has been a serious challenge for years.

I am sorry for your needless suffering.

Given the state of healthcare in this country I now realize it is in my hands to figure out what I need and manage my providers accordingly.

The last time I told them what I needed and they ignored me I ended up in the hospital. That apparently got their attention as they are now working with me.

I don't agree with everything they have me doing, some of which is making things worse, but at least they are listening.

It shouldn't be this way but for now it's what we've got.

I hope you live in peace and good health.
