Hi,
Interesting comments and what I assume a lot of us have to put up with. I know I'm not the only one going through such troubles despite it feeling like I'm the only with such problems.
I spent an hour or two with another Geriatitian this afternoon after dressing down the last one after it was evident she was being one eyed and resolved that she couldn't help me. Damn it felt good then, but this time I was under instructions to take my wife to keep me inline. They don't appreciate nothing would keep me quiet if I feel I'm being given the bad end of a stick, yet again! The hint was definitely there if nothing is found yet again I'm depressed and in need of a phyc Dr. Seems to be a common denominator when all else fails, pull out the crazy card. I wonder if in their training they every learnt to look deeper when they can not find a cause for some pretty obvious symptoms. Anyway I'm now off the SIBO meds and there is little change so the nasty guts rumbles on, literally.
We now have another focus, poisoning or some form of dementia going on, ruled out Parkinsons though. Finally some testing and a brain scan are planned. In the last few weeks I have been noticing the hand eye coordination getting worse and after around 4 hours I'm all in knackered and starting to stumble around. The Osteoarthritis in the hands has become more painful and I'm fumbling everything I try to touch, frustration levels are starting to go through the roof, yet again. Just hope I can wind my neck back in before it is too late. They wonder why I have become withdrawn and reclusive, because it hurts me less, head in the sand policy!
Resolved tonight to go back on a starvation diet taking filtered water only as this shuts up the stomach and with hope will kill off the nasties in the small intestine. I thought I was lacking vital neutriants but after stumbling 9Kms last week I guess that is not an issue. I was waiting for the booze patrol I passed to stop me and check me for being drunk in charge of the footpath!
For now life goes on.
Cheers
